In this Masterclass you will get 4 hrs of hands on learning plus a comprehensive material & tool kit to take home.
Come spend a morning or an afternoon in my studio, immersed in a high-quality learning experience jam-packed with in-depth knowledge about the Delft Sand Casting Method.
During this intimate masterclass, I will offer hands-on learning to one person or to a small group of keen participants who wish to incorporate this method to their jewellery practice, taking home a customised tools and materials pack with everything necessary to continue this casting method in their own time.**
This Masterclass can be booked for one person or for a small group of max 4 participants.
You will learn the ins and outs of the Delft Sand Casting Method, in which we imprint forms into a two part mould filled with sand, then pour molten metal directly into that sand, casting incredible organic shapes unique to this method. Catch all the pearls of wisdom I will be dropping during this masterclass including how to cast multi metals, use of alternative sands and stones set in place.
The level of difficulty will be adapted to your abilities, no prior knowledge is necessary. (You will need a blow torch to continue this method in your studio)
What can I learn/make?
We will be covering the delft sand casting method from beginning to end. From learning to identify which jewellery pieces are suitable for this casting method, alloying your own metals to pouring into the sand and finishing the jewellery pieces made.
