Cuttlebone Casting with Lead-Free Pewter

  • Chicago Avenue Fire Arts Center 3749 Chicago Avenue Minneapolis, MN, 55407 United States (map)

Learn the ancient technique of cuttlebone casting in this sampler class. We'll start by covering the basics of direct carving your own pattern to create a cuttlebone mold. Next, we'll pour lead-free pewter into our patterns, and then you'll finish your creation as a small sculpture, pendant, keychain, pin, magnet, or more. The workshop will cover the basics of carving, techniques for pouring metal, and basic finishing of small-scale cast artworks. You can expect to make at least one finished pieces during the class. No prior experience is required in this fun class!
