Textures in Wax

 
 

Class Description

Taught by Odette Channell

Learn to control wax in a whole new way with this exploration of texture. Students will use basic wax tools, heat, found objects, and tools of their own creation to carve and transfer textures onto a series of rings. We will cover the logistics of wearability as it applies to deeper texture and discuss how to clean cast surfaces without losing definition. 

Projects: 

  1. Create 3 ring bands using hot and cold techniques covered in the first 4 lessons.

  2. Draw and translate a signet ring design into wax. Use tools developed in previous weeks to achieve desired textures. 

This course is open to students with prior wax working experience. Our Welcome to Wax Working course provides this instruction.

Class size 4 – 12 students.


All students receive a 50% discount on hourly bench rentals throughout the duration of their course.
