Concept
Using the bonded sand method, learn the art of aluminum casting in this engaging and labor-intensive workshop. Create a bonded sand mold of an original wax, oil-based clay, and/or found object sculpture or transform a pattern made prior to class.
Experience
Teresa guides you step-by-step through the bonded sand method of aluminum casting, resulting in a finished sculpture. Spend the first day creating a simple sculpture for casting, followed by hands-on practice making a mold, using the melt furnace, and pouring metal. On the final day, cut, grind, and file excess metal and use finishing and coloring processes to complete your piece. Expect a moderate amount of labor.
Skill Level
All levels welcome, beginners to advanced.
