Intro to Jewelry Casting
Service Description
This immersive 2-day boot camp gives you all the skills to get started with wax casting. You will be able to make multiple designs in wax or use organic material for your casting! DAY ONE: The first hour of class you will learn various wax carving and manipulation techniques. Then Patricia, our instructor, works individually with each student to get them started based on their skill level. Beginners will learn how to form the wax for their piece. By the end of day one, the wax piece will be invested (a sacrificial mold will be made of the wax design). If you finish investing your piece before 8pm, you can leave early, of course. DAY TWO: The mold will be ready for the casting process. The piece will be cast and the rest of this class session will be used for finishing and polishing. All materials, equipment and tools (including a Flax-shaft) are provided in the classroom, as well as 1oz. of sterling silver for beginner students. Additional silver will be available for purchase at cost for project require more than the provided 1 oz. of included sterling silver. Please Venmo Patrica @Patricia-Hart-18 with your first and last name to book!
