SILVER III: TUFA CASTING
INSTRUCTOR: VICKIE PRILLAMAN
What is Tufa? How do you cast with it? Attend this class and find out. Students will first learn how to work safely with the Tufa and then how to carve their designs into the Tufa stone, using a basic flat spatula, a fork, and other items found to make textures in the Tufa, how fun to find different items you can carve with! No special tools required. We will discuss what to do with the finished castings. They can be made either into a finished piece on its own or combine parts to create a larger piece. They can also be used as overlays. Students will learn the basics of how to get a successful casting by using sterling silver. This class will be held partially outside with some sharing of torches and crucibles. Class fee covers handouts and consumables for the class, one piece of Tufa and enough sterling silver for the first project. I will send out information to registered students where they may purchase the Tufa, or you can buy from me. A tools list will be sent to registered students in advance. If you have any questions, please call Vickie at 770-265-7879.
