Editorial Reviews

Product Description
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.

-In-depth resource on this ancient jewelry-making technique.
-16-page color gallery.
-Illustrated with finely executed drawings of work in progress.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learned more than in 6 months apprenticeship, December 29, 1998
By carmencs@p-e-p.com (Frenchtown, New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Modeling in Wax for Jewelry and Sculpture (Hardcover)
I got this book after making jewelry for 3 years and lost wax casting for 6 months. Boy, did I learn a lot! The projects are truly outstanding. They show a wide variety of techniques and styles. Try each one even if it's not a style you're really big on - I did and found neat ways to do things I wanted to do that I hadn't managed before. I require this as a text for all my apprentices who do casting.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good foundation book, December 31, 2001
By Santiago Q. Maldonado (Fort Carson, CO USA) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Modeling in Wax for Jewelry and Sculpture (Jewelry Crafts) , October 17, 2007
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars 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. Read more
