Sand Casting for Jewelry

Learn to cast bronze (and silver) in one-off molds made from a fine grained sand. We will talk about how to make a good impression, venting and sprues, and ways you can make small production runs using sand casting.

There will be some instruction on finishing your sand casting pieces, but the majority of the class will be focused on casting and troubleshooting.

All tools and materials are provided for use in class. You will have the option to purchase additional bronze and if desired, silver grain for casting. You are welcome to bring your clean (no solder) sterling or fine silver scrap for use also.

Students are encouraged to bring small items to cast - they should be no larger than a quarter and without undercuts. They can be natural items, polymer clay modeled items, metal clay masters, etc
