Silver Jewellery - Casting Day - Mon 6th July - 9:15am - 2.45pm - Yardley Hastings

On this one day casting course you will use a different range of items to experiment with making moulds from delft sand and cuttlefish.
There is also a chance to cast in water, pasta and rice if you’d like to do some experimental casting on the day.
You’ll learn how to:
* Create a top pouring mould in delft and cuttlefish
* Create a side pouring mould in sand
* Create a single delft mould for multiple pieces
* Add bails and fixings to your castings
* Create details in the sand moulds using stamps
* Clean up your castings
The forms that you cast can be created into pendants, earrings or charms.
Silver is in addition to the course fee. Please do bring your own if you would like. Old silver jewellery and silver off cuts can also be used so a great way to recycle.
Tutor: Beccy Gillatt.
Level: All welcome including total beginners.
Materials: Extra cost on the day, between £20 and £50 depending on the size of your castings.
