The Art of Wax + Mitsuro Hikime Studio Pack brings together two ArtMatter publications dedicated to wax as a creative and sculptural material.
Art of Wax is a comprehensive guide to carving and modelling with wax for jewellery-making and sculpture. The book introduces different types of wax and their properties, outlines essential tools, and offers step-by-step guidance for carving, modelling, melting, pouring and moulding. It combines traditional approaches with contemporary experimental methods, featuring the work and techniques of Elsa Tierney, Sarah Davis and Robert Worley.
Mitsuro Hikime explores the traditional Japanese wax-sculpting technique used to create elegant, organic forms for jewellery and sculpture. With studio demonstrations photographed in London and Tokyo, the book presents the history, cultural significance and practical application of mitsuro hikime through the work of Kumiko Kihara, Elsa Tierney and the Tomoyasu School.
Together, the two books offer a rich introduction to wax as a material for making, thinking and experimenting. From carving and modelling to Japanese wax drawing and organic sculptural forms, this studio pack is ideal for jewellers, sculptors, students, artists and anyone interested in the creative possibilities of wax.
Buying the studio pack saves £10 compared with purchasing the two books separately, with combined shipping for both titles.
Full specifications for each title are available on the individual book pages.
