LOST WAX CARVING WEEKEND CLASS: ORGANIC FORMS
INSTRUCTOR: BRUCE MCKAY FRIDAY 5PM TO 9PM AND SATURDAY 9AM TO 5PM
In this two-day workshop, students will learn to carve waxes into organic forms. The waxes we will create will be pendants or brooches of flowers or other forms chosen by the students, ready to be cast into metal. We will not cast the finished pieces in this class, just learn how to carve fluid, organic, realistic forms. Flowers or other forms will be hand carved from a solid block of carving wax using basic wax carving tools and each student will take home their kit of carving tools. We will start with a basic five petal Plumeria Pendant design which will teach all the skills to carve organic forms, whether they be realistic or just free flowing designs.
