As a material, wax can be manipulated in a variety of ways to produce castable models for one-of-a-kind or production jewelry. In this online course, students will learn about a variety of mold making techniques and materials that can be used as a starting point for creating original wax models. Students will be introduced to both alginate and silicone molds, and encouraged to explore texture, surface, and form, through prompts for engaging in their own studio-based experimentation and play.
