  • Wax Carving for Beginners

    You basically pay just for renting a workbench. There is no teaching of wax carving. It's just an open studio where everyone works on their project and sometimes the "teacher" looks at your piece and helps you, if he's not lingering in the hallways. There was no introduction or guidance, no explanation of the tools that we had to buy. For me it was a waste of time and money. I did not learn anything.
