Jewelry Wax Modeling by Adolfo Mattiello, is presented with meticulous step-by-step instructions and drawings revealing the progress of each model.  The illustrations indicate the dimensions of the model at every stage, and proper hand and tool positioning during the modeling process. 

Each lesson introduces new projects in wax modeling, designed to gradually broaden abilities, with emphasis on developing hand skills and attention to detail.  As technical versatility increases, attention is guided to other aspects of the modeling process, such as working from perspective illustrations, making your own sketches and creating models from the stone layout to the finished piece. 

This hard cover, 162-page book contains close-up color photographs, and black and white illustrations, practical information on tools and stone settings, instructions on creating your own templates, and answers to the most frequently asked questions.
