All levels are welcome. No experience required.
Molten Metal, Made Simple! Dive into the fundamentals of sandcasting in this hands-on class designed for makers of all levels. Over the course of this workshop, you’ll learn the basics of mold-making and metal casting while creating a series of small sample pieces—each exploring a different casting technique. We’ll work with recycled aluminum, or bronze, using a portable foundry. Whether you’re curious about small-batch production, original artwork, or crafting custom tools for other craft, sandcasting offers an efficient, accessible way to bring your metal ideas to life.
