Start to finish, all the instructional details are included for every phase of wax casting and mold-making in this second edition of the definitive text on jewelry making. Creating models directly in wax frees the artist and craftsman from traditionally cumbersome and restrictive methods, resulting in a faster, easier and more spontaneous approach. This fully illustrated book is a must have source for the jeweler, teacher, student, craftsman and sculptor. Drawing on over 30 years of practical experience, Lawrence Kallenberg brings the text up to date, offering information on new breakthroughs in the casting process, as well as new waxes and equipment now available.
