It’s a bit weird for me to be writing on Thursday (usually I’m doing this some Saturday). The studio is quiet this morning (it’s still early for the goldsmiths!). I was enjoying the quiet and thinking about how my latest class just ended (the 8 week casting class). So, I thought I’d share one of the final student projects from this round with you!
They chose to do a lost wax casting of a ring for their final choice. Wax comes in a few different types, this purple wax is a nice all-purpose one, which worked well for the combination of curves and some sharper points that the student wanted to achieve. Here is the finished wax getting prepped for its tranformation into metal!
Here’s the final piece in sterling silver. It looks pretty great!
