The goals of this 2-part Online class is for participants to learn the basics of casting small metal objects in sand. Through a detailed step-by-step approach, students will learn important ins and out of the process with special consideration for building a cleaner crisper more effective mold, which is one of the biggest keys to the whole process.
Since a master object used for casting metal in sand is never damaged or lost, I hope to impress on the participants what an extremely useful and verstile technique this can be to add to your studio practice. My desired outcome for this class is that participants grasp a deeper understanding of Sand Casting, gaining a new level of confidence which will allow them to enjoy a fun process while continueing to explore and learn more on their own.
