SUMMARY:Studio Casting Techniques for Jewellery (DC15)
DESCRIPTION:Studio Casting Techniques for Jewellery: Weekend Course.\nBook Now\n- This weekend course introduces numerous home- studio casting techniques for jewellery and other small accessories.\nWhat will I learn?\nWith focus firmly on the experimental\, this is an exciting opportunity to try out a variety of approaches to casting and mould making. The aim is to equip you with techniques you can carry on exploring in your in the home studio..\n\nWhen casting your outcome is determined by the type of mould you made. We present you with a comprehensive overview of the various techniques used in casting\, both for studio and commercial use. We will also discuss methods for batch producing and approaches to making prototypes for mould making. Then over 2 days you'll get the chance to explore common studio techniques including  the use of cuttlefish\, delft sand\, balsa and plywood for mould making purposes. Initially we'll use pewter as our metal for casting\, and we will also look at ways to incorporate other materials into the cast.\n\nYou may also work with silver if you wish\, but you will need to bring your own metal. Additional advice will be given when you book your place.\nWhat will I produce?\nIt is anticipated that you will produce a range of progressive test pieces that could form the basis of a charm necklace or bracelet. We anticipate that your samples will provide lasting reference -and inspiration- for your future jewellery projects.\nMaterials\nThe course fee covers the cost of all non-precious materials. You will use pewter as the main material for casting. Additional materials (acrylic\, beads\, stones\, shells etc) for inclusions and mould-making will also be provided.\n\nYou may also bring your own precious materials to work with. You can also recycle old silver jewellery if you wish. In this instance please note we recommend also using some silver casting grain to ensure good flow.\nCan I get my work hallmarked?\nWe are able to offer a hallmarking service for precious jewellery made at Flux – If you  would like to have your work hallmarked with the Flux Studios hallmark this can be arranged at cost price.\nBook Now\nTea\, coffee and light refreshments are provided throughout the weekend.\n\nCourse Tutor: Vicky Forrester.
