Lost Wax Jewelry Making: The Build-up Technique
by Minoru Azama - Complete Edition
One of the few books available on wax modelmaking; “Lost Wax Jewelry
Making: The Build-up Technique” by Minoru Azama, printed in Japanese
by Kashiwa Hobby Books. 1999.
Azama process emphasizes building up wax as opposed to starting with
a wax blank and carving away material. He uses this approach for
organic as well as geometric subjects. The potential of this
technique is unlimited!
Azama’s work is outstanding, some of it so very precise and
geometric that one would think it had been carved of hard wax. The
book was written for students at the Japan Jewelry Academy, and Mr.
Azama has been generous enough to write a complete English
translation.
