Bring or choose a small object to cast in metal! Metal casting goes back to 4000 BC using open or two-piece ceramic or stone molds. In China around 1300 BC, during the Shang Dynasty, craftspeople started to use sand as the mold material. We will spend the weekend making a mold of your object out of sand and pour molten metal into that mold to make a replica of a small object. Students should plan to bring a small object to cast. A supply fee of approximately $45-50 covers all other materials. 2 sessions. Instructors: Amy Veatch and Ehko Biber.

Come to office hours and get one-on-one instruction to help resolve your issue. Stay for the full duration of class or drop in for a short period of time.
