Note
This mini guide contains content from my Wax Carving for Beginners course. If you've already purchased the full course, you do not need to purchase this guide. This course focuses specifically on outsourcing metal pouring/investment casting and does not include wax sculpting, jewellery refining or stone setting. If you're looking for a complete jewellery making course covering tools, wax sculpting, casting, refining and more, you’ll get the most benefit from my full Lost Wax Jewellery Course.
