Limited to 6 students
Join instructor Dennis Fair to learn a fast, low-tech way to turn your scrap sterling silver into something brand-new.
Check out this video to get a sense of the process before class. Delft clay can make a detailed impression (a negative) of everyday objects, which are then filled with molten silver to recreate your object. Because the mold comes apart in two halves, this technique works best on flatter objects — items with two relatively simple faces rather than deep, three-dimensional detail. Coins, leaves, carved clay shapes, and flat charms or crosses are all good candidates; anything with undercuts or hollow, hidden detail won't release cleanly.
Bring your own saw frame if you have a favorite - you'll use it to cut off the sprue and other imperfections. Otherwise, all tools and clay are provided for the day of class.
The instructor will also have a small amount of scrap sterling silver available for purchase at market price. Students should plan to bring their own scrap silver or casting grain.
