About This Workshop

Have you ever wanted to know how to cast something or dabbled in making your own lead sinkers? Now would be the perfect time to learn how to make a small project that is cast with incredible detail. This class will help students create a one-of-a-kind small-scale bronze casting from scratch. In the first few days, Kelly will walk participants through the basics of creating the original pattern by making a multi-part, no bake sand mold. By the middle of the week, the class will light up a small bronze speedy melt furnace, and cast the piece in 2000+ degree furnace. Towards the end of the week students will cut off the sprueing and gating system and grind the final piece. On the last day the bronze piece will be ready to take home and put on a pedestal. (Just think, this is how Thomas Lie-Nielsen started and look where he is today)
