PRIVATE BEGINNER SAND CASTING CLASS
Beginner friendly, no experience necessary. Great for both experienced metalsmiths + those with no prior metal experience.
Learn the art of Sand Casting
Discover the magic of transforming molten metal into a one-of-a-kind treasure in a private, hands-on sand casting session with me. Whether you’re curious about the process or looking to create a personal piece of jewelry, this one-on-one workshop is tailored just for you.
During our time together, you will:
- Learn the fundamentals of sand casting, from preparing the mold, to proper casting techniques and tips.
- Learn finishing techniques to make your piece ready to wear: removing the sprue and polishing etc.
- Leave with a completed piece that you’ve designed and crafted yourself.
No prior metalsmithing experience is necessary—just bring your curiosity (and maybe a spark of inspiration). I’ll provide all the tools, materials, and guidance you need.
Details:
- Duration: 5 hours
- Location: My private studio in West Seattle
- Ring or Pendant will be cast in Jewelers brass. Silver available for an additional fee.
This experience makes a thoughtful gift, a memorable creative day for yourself, or a meaningful way to commemorate a special occasion.
NOTE: The focus of this class will be on learning the art of Sand Casting and not on wax carving. Though we will address elements of wax and wax carving during the session - we will use a premade blank to cast.
READY TO CAST?: If you have a wax ready to cast, please email me images of it so I can verify that it will work. I'm happy to offer this class at a lower rate if you're ready to cast, and do not need the wax instruction portion of this class.
