Learn the fundamentals of casting by exploring the exciting and ancient techniques of melting metal and pouring it into molds without a centrifugal setup. This weekend workshop will cover carving a mold and casting into tufa stone, a light-weight sandstone, and creating quick molds in cuttle bone, a material easily found at any pet store! Students will cast into other organic material as well as create a mold in sand, an ancient form of producing a copy of another piece. Rudimentary alloying will be discussed as well as pouring an ingot, finishing techniques and safety. Bring your silver scraps if you have some! No experience necessary.
