Silver jewellery casting with gem stones Sunday 2nd of March 9.30 - 5pm
Join Jesse for a creative day of sand casting~ an exciting technique that turns recycled silver grain to a molten state before being transformed into your desired form. This class uses an ancient metal smithing technique which dates back to 3000 B.C. while adding in a contemporary twist of synthetic, faceted gemstones.
During the class you'll learn to create a mould for your design and then add up to four gems. You'll then cast your pendant or earrings in assay quality, recycled silver. Jesse will be on hand during each casting and should you wish, she's happy to do the casting for you.
Price includes; silver, up to 10 grams ( a generous amount for a pendant or pair of earrings) ~ all silver used for sprues will be re-claimed and pieces over 10grams will be charged per weight, use of equipment, casting sand and 4 gems of your choice.
If desired, Jesse will finish up your pendant or earrings by adding a bale or earring posts and then polishing ~ you can arrange for delivery or collection the following week.
As this class runs for a whole day, it's recommended you bring a packed lunch. Please also wrap up warm as the Pole Barn can be cold in October.
