Hardbound. Condition: Very Good. Description: Profusely illustrated in black and white with one double page display in color. From the introduction: ''Mr. Hiroshi Tsuyuki has taken an innovative approach to teaching the technique of wax modeling. This book is used as a text at the Jewelry Studies Institute in Tokyo, Japan. Too often a process is easier shown than described. This book was conceived through his teaching experience -- more photographs, sketches and less text resulting in less over-the-shoulder supervision. By introducing new techniques in each project, his students were able to progress more rapidly towards independence in design conceptions. Mr. Tsuyuki presents eleven basic projects in this book, each one designed to teach the use of certain tools and types of waxes in a progressive manner as one's skills improve. Each step of every project is accompanied by photo/text and in some cases supplementary sketches and notes are provided.'' This was originally published in Japan in 1985.

Hardback. Condition: New. Basic Wax Modeling: An Adventure in Creativity by Hiroshi Tsuyuki is an essential foundation text in the art of jewelry wax modeling and lost-wax casting. Revered by jewelry educators worldwide and used as a core textbook at the Jewelry Studies Institute in Tokyo, the book offers a structured and highly visual introduction to one of jewelry design's most enduring techniques.Across eleven step-by-step projects, Tsuyuki demonstrates how to use the various wax types, tools, and modeling approaches essential to creating professional-quality rings, pendants, and brooches. Each project is accompanied by precise explanations, detailed process photos, and clear supplementary drawings that guide learners from beginner to intermediate skill level. The author's approach ensures that by completing each exercise, readers will understand both the artistic and technical aspects of jewelry design.The book also includes a comprehensive appendix with five useful reference charts: ring sizes, plate and wire gauge comparisons, weight conversions, millimetre-inch conversion, and diamond carat-to-diameter relationships-resources highly valued by professional jewellers and students alike.Originally published in 1985 and now available in a revised hardcover edition (112 pages, 283 black-and-white illustrations), Basic Wax Modeling remains the definitive introduction to jewelry wax modeling. The text was written in collaboration with The Japan Jewelry Craft School, ensuring linguistic clarity and technical precision for international readers.Praised by professionals and instructors for its clarity and practicality, this book continues to be an indispensable resource for jewellery design programmes, studios, and individual artisans seeking mastery of wax modeling and casting techniques.

Hardback. Condition: New. The essential follow-up to Basic Wax Modeling, Practical Wax Modeling: Advanced Techniques for Wax Modelers takes jewelry makers deeper into the professional techniques of lost wax design and casting.Through 385 clear step-by-step photographs and diagrams, this 160-page hardcover book demonstrates advanced wax modeling methods for creating rings, brooches, pendants, and more. Organized for practical bench use, it offers guidance on both hard and soft waxes, texturing, gemstone setting in wax, and the Japanese Mitsuro hikime process-a rare technique for achieving beautifully striated surfaces. Readers also learn professional approaches to mold making, casting, and post-cast finishing.Some key features include:Detailed projects demonstrating advanced carving and construction in hard and soft wax.Instructions for making and using Mitsuro, a traditional Japanese modeling wax.Professional texture and surface techniques for unique design finishes.Clear methodology for preparing, casting, and finishing jewelry forms.As noted by metalsmith and educator Charles Lewton-Brain, the text is "clear and well organized, with large, excellent photographs illustrating each stage." The book is structured as an applied progression from Basic Wax Modeling, but it also stands alone as a comprehensive reference for advanced wax modelers.Rich with visual instruction and professional insight, Practical Wax Modeling is invaluable for jewelers, sculptors, teachers, and students of metal arts who seek precision and creative control in their casting process.Beautifully printed in hardcover (160 pages, 24 × 17 cm), this book remains one of the most respected technical manuals in the jewelry field, bridging the gap between craft practice and fine art metalwork.
