Ceramics induction workshop using black wax

Experimenting with black wax


Today whilst in ceramics we were playing around with black wax. There was no set task to what we had to make. I think it was just a material to experiment with. I with making a tree with its branches at first, but I was told that this couldn't be used as a mould because it was too small and flimsy. I started to make some type of mask, it wasn't very successful and I didn't go any further with this.
