Description
This two day course is an introduction to working with sculpture modelling waxes. It is a fantastic opportunity to explore different techniques – from modelling to construction and casting. Wax is a versatile modelling medium for making sculpture. During this course students will be encouraged to experiment with the different properties of softer and harder modelling waxes, building architecturally and experimenting with different textures, as well as casting and assembling components from plaster moulds.
What's included in the price?
Day One Experiment with three types of modelling wax. Learn how to model and join wax in sheet form, and how to build a shape on to an armature frame for support. Look at ways of preparing a finished wax for metal casting. Follow instructions for the safe handling of hot wax and the tools and equipment best suited for modelling wax sculpture. Day Two Cast waxes from plaster two-piece moulds of your own making Experiment with modelling wax over plaster cores.
