SILVER II: LOW TECH CASTING

INSTRUCTOR: DEBORA MAUSER

 

Low tech casting is a technique of pouring molten silver over organic material. We will use a combination of casting grains and scrap silver to create unique components to incorporate into your jewelry. After learning a casting technique each morning, students will design and create jewelry each afternoon. We will do water casting, broom casting, salt and cuttle bone. Class Fee includes all consumables, 1 ounce of casting grain (more if silver goes down in cost) a bag of cz’s and tube sets. Students may bring sterling and/or fine silver scrap for casting, teacher will have casting grain and scrap for sale. Students will purchase silver for fabrication of designs from the teacher. Students should be comfortable with a torch and competent with soldering components.
