INSTRUCTOR: Abbey Hunter
This class is a TWO day session for metalsmiths looking to expand their creations with casting figures. We require beginner classes as a prerequisite. Having taken any of our classes will qualify!
We will use wax and found natural objects to cast in this class. Students are encouraged to bring small found items from nature (leaves, succulents, etc), but avoid objects with high calcium content like bones and shells as they are difficult to burn out in the kiln.
