How does it work
The Workshop
During this workshop you will be able to make a silver pendant.
First we will decide the subject together, then I will help you sculpt the wax shape.
Once the sculpture has been made, we will use the sand casting technique to transform the wax model into the silver pendant.
01.
The idea
Do you already have an idea in mind or do you lack inspiration?
In both cases, don’t worry, we will decide together how to proceed.
If you already have a design we will study it together to evaluate its feasibility and difficulty, if you have no ideas I will propose some options.
02.
The technique
To make the jewel you will need to sculpt the wax.
I have only one workstation in the laboratory, so I will follow you individually all the time, also there will be no need to be afraid of making mistakes: with the wax sculpture you can always remedy all mistakes.
Once the wax model is finished, we will proceed to cast it with the ancient technique of sand casting.
We will use Delft clay to impress the shape you have carved and we will pour the liquid metal to create the silver pendant.
03.
The final result
By the end of the morning you will have finished your silver pendant.
We will add a chain and you will be ready to wear it right away.
