Description
Casting molten metal is one of the oldest metal techniques dating back thousands of years. Students will learn how to work both hard and soft wax. These wax objects will be cast in sterling silver incorporating the lost wax casting technique. This class will cover calculating wax weights, spruing of waxes, safety issues and finishing. Students do not need prior metal experience but those that have taken a jewelry class will be able to use those skills in the finishing part of this technique.
Be prepared for a fun and interesting time learning this essential and ancient metal art!
Mats included.
This is a 6 week class from 2/24 - 3/31.
Before each class, students are required to complete a daily health screening. If a student is unable to complete the health screening, a parent or guardian must complete it for them.
Please remember that masks are mandatory, keep a minimum of 6 feet away from others, wash your hands frequently, and do not touch your face. After using the hand sanitizer a few times please make sure to properly wash your hands.
