Do you have old silver jewelry or a box of metal scrap you want to recycle? Have you wanted to try casting, but don’t have the expensive equipment to do traditional Lost Wax casting? Try Broom Casting! The surprise and randomness of the results, the textures, patterns, and shapes really can't be achieved through any other metalsmithing techniques. In this fun morning workshop learn how easy it is to transform your silver, copper or brass scrap into beautiful and organic one-of-a-kind pieces. Unwrap your bundle of treasure, and leave with inspiring shapes to use in your jewelry. Techniques covered will also include proper preparation of materials, safety issues, use of a gas fueled torch, and finishing tips. So if you're up for a little adventurous metalworking and aren't afraid of surprises, learn broom casting! This class is limited to eight students.
