This is the workshop for you! Many intricate and sculptural pieces of metal jewelry began life as featureless blocks of wax. By working in wax rather than metal, the carver creates form efficiently and opens up design possibilities. Students in this class will gain a thorough understanding of the processes, tools, and materials used to carve wax models for use in lost wax casting. Starting from a simple design, students will transfer it accurately onto a block of wax, then remove large amounts of excess material. Using a wide variety of simple tools, they will add details and refine surfaces, ending up with a completed wax model ready for casting. Casting is NOT part of this class, however students will leave this class prepared to have their wax models professionally cast or enroll in Introduction to Jewelry Lost Wax Casting to cast their own work.

Starting from a simple design, students will transfer it accurately onto a block of wax, then remove large amounts of excess material. Using a wide variety of simple tools, they will add details and refine surfaces, ending up with a completed wax model ready for casting. Casting is NOT part of this class, however students will leave this class prepared to have their wax models professionally cast or enroll in Introduction to Jewelry Lost Wax Casting to cast their own work.

Workshop: Linocut Jigsaw Workshop: Linocut Jigsaw Jan 27, 28 | 10:00 AM-04:00 PM PST Sessions: 2
Class # Dates & Times Days Sessions Tuition Master Member Tuition Supply Fee Code 5821 Jan 27, 28 | 10:00 AM-04:00 PM PST Sat, Sun 2 $ 240 $ 216 $ 20 Linocut is a wonderful way of creating a multi-colored print from just one block and one pass through the press! This is achieved by cutting the carved linoleum block into jigsaw pieces, inking them up separately and then putting them back together for printing. The method is quicker than reduction linocuts or multi block linocuts as you don’t need to wait for each color to dry before printing the next. In this 2-day workshop we will dive deep into the world of jigsaw prints from design to printing.
MUST have previous (and recent) Linocut experience.
