Book Synopsis
Wax carving is like sculpture for jewellery and allows enormous creativity, as so many different forms can be made. This practical guide introduces the techniques to this age-old method through a series of guided exercises and projects, and demonstrates how exciting it can be. Drawing on the experience of two master wax-carvers, it also gives invaluable advice on the finish of your cast pieces and how to reproduce them. With over 400 colour photos, it give advice on setting up for wax carving, tools, tool-making and materials. There are exercises that introduce the beginner to using wax and then build ideas and confidence to try more complex designs. Included are advanced techniques that show how to use stones in a carving and how to add texture and surface detail. Finally, finished examples demonstrate the potential, excitement and versality of the method.

Trade Review
The authors explain and demonstrate the what and how of wax carving in a fresh, easily digestible style. Beautiful images of jewellery created by Lownsbrough and Tarcinale provide perfect, inspiring examples of these sculptures in miniature. -- Reviewer - Jeweller Magazine * The Jeweller magazine, Nat Assoc of Jewellers *
