Carving SIG - focus on Nuts & Wax
DESCRIPTION
Our monthly get togethers have a different focus topic every month. This time will focus on power carving jeweler's wax and Tagua Nuts. Rick Martin carved for 50 years but never wood. He was a professional jeweler and carved wax to make detailed models of rings, bracelets, and necklaces before casting them in precious metals. He used a Foredom because jeweler’s wax is very hard. This will be a power carving demo with a chance to experience a little hands-on yourself with a variety of rotary shaft tools (Foredom, Dremel, micromotor). Try your hand at carving a Taqua Nut.
You might model a complex carving in clay, but you could also practice carving it in wax.
DATES/TIMES - Evening, 7:00-9:00, with option to arrive after 6:00 to eat, work, or chat.
PREREQUISITE: None.
