Learn how to carve a 3-dimensional shape out of hard and soft wax to be cast into metal in this beginner-intermediate class. I'll cover how to select the correct wax, trace, and cut out your shape. Then I'll demonstrate how to refine the shape with a variety of hand tools, as well as the flex shaft. We'll finish off the project by learning to make and attach a jump ring.
You'll learn how to apply the subtractive and additive techniques to create any 3-dimensional shape!

I’ve taken several of Emilies classes, but this one has been my favourite so far.
Easy to follow and I’m really happy with how my pieces came out!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the class, Emily. Your pieces are stunning!!! So proud :)
Emilie's year-long course has been one of the best investments I have made as a beginning creator. She is inviting, incredibly thorough, and thoughtful in all of her classes, and her Facebook group is always a nice place to ask questions and gain feedback for your work. I cannot recommend her courses enough! I am usually an in-person learner, but she has made it amazingly easy to learn from across the country. 11/10. Gift yourself this education!
I'm so happy you've enjoyed the membership, Sara!!!
