Product Description: Expands on the original work that first introduced artists and artisans to the materials, tools, and techniques used to create original wax models for jewelry--both fine pieces and costume jewelry.
A good book i liked this book. it seems to be pretty complete and i learned enough from it to get started in jewelry making. imo it could have gone into more depth for centrifugal and vacuum casting.
Modeling in wax for jewelry and sculpture A bit disapointed by this book. I guess so many books now have great photos and are put together so well that an old fashioned style manual like this just doesn't inspire. I'm sure it's full of really useful stuff, but the format is so off putting that I can't be bothered to read it. A really good, modern book on wax carving with lots of interesting projects is long overdue..
Modeling in Wax for Jewelry and Sculpture (Jewelry Crafts) Informative book with many photographic examples of the instructions. I enjoyed putting some of the methods into practice. Was well laid out with a broad choosing of projects. A good intro to medium level instruction book.
Good starter book Complete and easy read a great place to start.
A very good foundation book I wish I had this book when I first started to sculpt figures in wax. I would have saved myself a lot of time and agrivation. I would have also saved myself quite a bit of money by using good tequniques, and in that respect alone this book would pay for itself. If you are just getting into wax sculpture, this book would lay a very strong foundation from which to build your skills.
