Following on from the previous post at Emma Aitchison's jewellery studio to her wax ring workshop for Hackney Arts. In the two hour session we got to discover the process of this traditional craft and also see Emma's work to inspire us to find our own style to sketch a design. From using the selection of tools I sculpted the jewellery wax to translate my 2D drawing into a 3D model. With this original carving, Emma then took it back to her studio to turn into a finished polished metal. Here is my final piece which I'm in love with and can't believe that I managed to make from scratch without knowing the technique beforehand. That's the beauty of this initiative. It's not necessary to have previous knowledge of any of the arts featured so you can turn up on the day to experience something new and create a tactile result to take away.
