Wax Models in Jewelry: A Sensory Atelier Experience in Göttingen
In the Atelier Rita Franze in Göttingen, on September 24, 2026, a focused space for design, material study, and craftsmanship will open. The workshop Wax Models in Jewelry combines artisanal practice with aesthetic experience: Wax is transformed into jewelry pieces or small sculptures, which are then further processed and refined in their surface.
From Model to Form: Thinking about Jewelry with Hands
The first part of the workshop leads directly into the workshop aesthetics of jewelry design. With sculptor's wax and cutting wax, shapes are carved, modeled, and their proportions are tested. This immediate engagement with the work is what makes it exciting: Participants experience how an idea grows into a wearable object. Working on a small scale sharpens the eye for line, volume, surface, and tension.
Material, Process, and Goldsmith Tradition
Wax models have long been a central foundation of the lost-wax casting process. In the context of jewelry manufacturing, they vividly connect design, form finding, and later metalworking. According to the Federal Association of Arts and Crafts, Rita Franze stands for clear forms, bright colors, and textured surfaces; her work oscillates between classic jewelry, modern design, and artistic experimentalism. This attitude also shapes the workshop and makes it so exciting for art-interested visitors.
Small Group, Intensive Support
Participation is limited to a maximum of four people. This creates a calm, almost private exhibition atmosphere where individual ideas can be discussed and developed. In the second part, the metal casting made of silver or bronze is processed, and the surface is shaped. Thus, a creative starting point becomes a precise object with its own presence.
Place with Workshop Character
The Atelier Rita Franze sees itself as both a studio and an exhibition space. This combination creates an authentic framework for cultural education: Visitors not only experience a result but also an artistic process in real-time. The location at Wendenstr. 2 in Göttingen is situated on the edge of the city center, making it easily integrable into an art- and culture-oriented city visit.
Conclusion
Wax Models in Jewelry is aimed at all those who want to experience design, not just observe it. The workshop offers an intense encounter with material, form, and craft, opening the eyes to the nuances of jewelry design. Anyone who appreciates art as an aesthetic experience and craft discovery should definitely experience this special atelier experience in Göttingen live.
