Sand Casting Class

If you want an easy way to cast without a large kiln, sand casting is a quick and simple way to create one-of-a-kind duplicate castings and recycle your silver scraps!

Description

In this 3-hour class, you will learn all the basics of sand casting, from creating a mold out of red clay to packing the metal frame and melting metal scraps. You will also have the opportunity to create your own unique pieces of jewelry, using your own personal items as impressions.

No experience is necessary!

You'll need to bring several small items you want to use as impressions for your castings. Items must be smaller than 2" in diameter in order to fit into the casting frames.
