The first module of the Wax modeling and centrifugal casting course teaches the main techniques for modeling wax then transforming it in metal (silver) trough casting.
Wax molding technique allows a different type of expression than the classic welding technique. Understanding the process of molding and casting is also a way to improve your art skills. The aesthetic potential of this method is that spontaneous ideas can be shaped more easily.
