Those with unfinished sketches, hard wax orders need to placed and work on your insect should start today. You do not need to order wax if you are using soft wax, but you must have graded sketch to receive materials to create your piece. Wax models must be roughed out by Friday with detailing taking place next week.  The wax models will be critiqued before casting steps can take place.
