Sand casting is a versatile skill that can help you create your own, one-of-a-kind designs.
Rapid manufacture of designs in a small studio space without the need for a large casting operation.
This class will be over two evenings and in two parts to help students get the most understanding out of how to make a wearable ring with appliqués in a step-by-step manner.
Day-One will focus on proper methods of precise sand casting of the ring templates and getting a finished model produced.
On Day-Two, students will be sand casting the applique as well as clean up, soldering and finalizing the casting pieces!
