Renowned high jewelry artist, Cindy Chao, recently conducted a week-long workshop at Haute École de Joaillerie (HEJ) in Paris, where she shared her signature Cire Perdue (lost wax) technique with 28 students. The workshop culminated in the creation of a stunning four-foot-high floral wax sculpture unveiled at the Louvre Museum.
Chao, known for her avant-garde designs incorporating materials like titanium and wood, not only imparted her practical knowledge but also inspired students with her unique approach to jewelry making. The students honed their wax sculpting skills using Chao's ancient Cire Perdue technique, which involves crafting intricate three-dimensional wax representations of jewelry pieces.
