Description:

In this class students will learn the techniques of wax carving, vacuum casting, and metal finishing. Hands on experience includes wax forming techniques, preparing the wax model for casting [spruing], calculating the amount of metal needed to cast a wax model, the investment process, and kiln burnout cycles. Two methods of creating wax models will be explored. The subtractive method; using hard wax, files, drills and knives, and the buildup method; using sheet wax, wax wire, and molten wax. As a final step, students will learn the process for finishing metal, using saws, files, sandpaper, and mechanical polishing buffs, thus creating a finished piece of jewelry. New students will begin with structured projects. Returning students are welcome to continue working on design development, or on their individual projects.
