Jewelry Wax Modeling: a Practical Guide for the Jewelry Model Maker Creating jewelry in wax is designing with a versatile, pliable medium which is receptive to a variety of working techniques, forming easily to the desired shape. The wax piece is realized through the casting process which utilizes the fluidity of molten metal to create forms and effects that cannot possibly be achieved through metal fabrication. Through the process outlined in this volume, you will learn how to effectively use carving wax to express your ideas and create harmonious designs. The technique of jewelry modeling is presented with meticulous step-by-step instructions and drawings revealing the progress of each model. The illustrations indicate the dimensions of the model at every stage and the position of the hands or tools during the modeling process. Each lesson introduces new projects in wax modeling, gradually broadening your ability with emphasis on developing hand skills and attention to detail. As your technical versatility increases, your attention is guided to other aspects of the modeling process, such as working from perspective illustrations, making your own sketches and creating layouts with stones. This book also contains practical information on tools and stone setting, instructions on creating your own templates and answers to the most frequently asked questions. Jewelry Wax Modeling is the culmination of a fortunate combination of years of professional jewelry modeling, and the teaching experience acquired by the author as a wax modeling instructor.
