1 Day Casting Class

Why learn how to lost wax cast? This ancient technique has been used for centuries and we think it should be kept alive. We’re here to share the process with you.

In this fast-moving fun & creative 1-day workshop, students will get hands-on experience modifying one of our wax models, or we can print your small 3D File, two days prior to class. All specific hand tools are provided. Once this wax model is completed, it is treed up and then invested in a casting flask, and prepared for casting. We will then have a light lunch and creative process talk while our flasks are burning out in the kiln.

After lunch and flask burn out, all the wax models are individually cast in the centrifuge, with the instructor’s help, in your choice of Sterling Silver, or Gold Bronze. One piece of jewelry is included in the process. The rest of the day will be polishing and finishing pieces. The newly cast models are cleaned, finished, polished and patina-ed if you desire.

This is a lot to fit into one day. We recommend our 2 day class. But one day is do-able. You must be tool savy an use to working with your hands.

Students will leave the workshop with their own metal piece creation You will have a choice of Sterling Silver or Gold Bronze. 1 wax blank is provided. All hand tools, casting, and mold making equipment is available in the studio for use by the participants. You are welcome to bring your own metals or stones if you like as well.

Please bring a Refillable water bottle, lunch and a light snack. Dress in layers there are many different temperatures in the studios.
