This month, I'll spend every Monday in the studio learning to carve wax. The first class was this week and it was a blast! I'd forgotten how fun it is to take a block of material and create something (hopefully) amazing, using a few tools and my hands. You don't need to have any prior experience with metal work to take a wax carving class, so I highly recommend it to anyone who has interest.
My goal is to make one or two pieces worthy of a silicon mold so I can replicate the pieces.

This is the ring I am currently working on. It has been carved out of a slice of the circular ring wax and sanded down to what you see here. I have carved out a 'canal' which will be filled with circular spheres of wax. I will attempt to create a step down on either side of the canal to create pronounced edges.
