Description: Sand casting is one of the earliest forms of casting and involves pouring liquid metal into a cavity made in firmly packed sand. In this 2-day workshop, we will learn how to carve a mold out of wax, create an impression in sand, cast a piece out of molten metal, and clean up the castings. Day one will consist of learning about the process, as well as carving our wax models, and Day two will focus on the casting and finishing process. Materials are provided. 

Note: Bronze is the metal provided in the course, but if you want to purchase Sterling Silver or another metal, please contact the instructor at least 2 weeks before the first day of the workshop.
