Explorations in Wax: Experimenting with Techniques and Mold Making
Class Description
Taught by Andres Bedoya
September 9th - 13th. (2 PM - 6 PM).
This five day intensive focuses on experimenting with different types of wax sculpting techniques. The aim is to introduce students to the technical qualities of various waxes and demonstrate how their combination can broaden the possibilities for achieving one’s vision.
Students will work with hard wax, soft wax sheets, sticky wax, injection wax and plasteline. Through this process, they will expand their understanding of these materials and learn to make practical decisions that can streamline and facilitate their projects and process.
The course includes a mold-making component, teaching students how to produce their own process molds to create components or whole pieces. (Note: These are not the same as production molds.)
Overall, the course aims to communicate and unlock the logic behind different wax working methods, allowing students to apply them as needed. Please note some experience with wax or jewelry making processes is recommended.
Class size 4 – 12 students.
Open to all levels.
