Creative Wax Carving

For both new and more experienced jewelers, Creative Wax Carving is a thorough class in wax carving. The book teaches fun, effective, and easy ways to create beautiful pieces.

Low maintenance and easy to do at home, wax carving requires just a handful of tools and inexpensive materials — and you can work on your kitchen table.

Master jeweler and teacher Emilie Shapiro makes her hands-on techniques accessible to anyone. She leads readers through the fundamentals, explaining how to make molds and multiple models with variations.

Projects range from a very simple carved ring and tribal-inspired earrings to intermediate-level pieces, including an Elephant Pendant, a Snake Bangle, and a Cuff Bracelet with a Bezel-Set Gemstone. Creative Wax Carving is a must-have for every jeweler.
