Wax Modeling for Goldsmithing

A technique that lends itself particularly well to the creation of figurative objects or organic shapes, approaching sculpture, in terms of processing methods. The objects, instead of metal, are made from a block of synthetic wax and processed by removal removing of material with special techniques and tools.

At the end, we obtain a wax prototype of a ring, pendant, bracelet or other which  subsequently, with the lost-wax casting technique, is transformed into an exact copy in precious or non-precious metal. Speed of processing, cost-effectiveness of the materials and equipment used, have decreed its success.
We don’t follow more than 5 students at the same time.
All materials and equipment used are provided by the School, included in the price of the Course.
