6 Hour Sandcasting Intensive: Carving a Pendant
In this one day, 6 hour workshop, we will carve a flat backed pendant in wax and sand cast it ourselves.
What?
The class will begin with an introduction to wax carving with a heavy focus on layout techniques. We will then saw, file, and carve your pendant for about 4 hours, and then spend the last 2 hours casting, cleaning up, and polishing your work.
What’s included?
All studio materials, up to 15g silver, and the necessary jump rings for attachment. Chain is not included but may be available for purchase.
Can we cast stones in place and generally experiment?
No. The focus of this class will be on carving narrative pendants and improving carving techniques, we will not go down the experimental rabbit holes.
Who is this class for?
It is designed for the beginner, but if you have some experience or have taken our mega sand casting class, this is a great opportunity to focus on improving skills and technique.
Do I have to prepare anything ahead?
Yes, it is best if you come with a simple line drawing between 1.5x1.5cm and maximum 3.5cm round. You can email us images ahead to make sure they will work, and we can print for you if necessary.
