Sand Casting Workshop for 2
A private sandcasting workshop for 2 for those with jewellery making experience
Service Description
Do you and a friend both have jewellery making experience and want to learn the art of sand casting and create a unique piece of jewellery with our private sandcasting jewellery class? This is the perfect one day class where you will discover the thrill of transforming raw materials into a stunning piece of wearable art. Vanessa will guide you through each step of the process, teaching you the secrets of forming a sand-mould using a master (such as a button or shell - you are welcome to bring in items you would like to sandcast), melting and pouring molten metal (sterling silver). Finally, you will be guided through the steps of cleaning up your casting ready to turn it into a piece of jewellery on the day or at a later date in your own workshop/regular jewellery class. Vanessa will also guide you regarding polishing your unique treasure. You'll be amazed at what you can create and take your existing jewellery making skills a little further. Our private class offers you the undivided attention of instructor Vanessa Miller, ensuring you'll enjoy a personalised experience. This is a rare opportunity to learn in a private workshop just for 2 people (with jewellery making experience) and learn a new skill, have fun, and walk away with an exquisite and unique piece of jewellery all your own. For this course you are expected to already have basic jewellery making skills such as saw-piercing, forming and soldering and although these are not taught elements on the course you will be fully supported. Please note this a whole day workshop (approx 5 hours) and a very hands-on experience using hot tools, materials and equipment that produces heat. If you have no prior jewellery making experience I recommend a private 1:1 workshop just for you, where you will be guided every step of the way so you will get the most out of your day. Please see the listing for 1:1 Private Sandcasting or get in touch for further information. All tools and materials* are included in the cost of the workshop. *A more than sufficient allowance of recycled sterling silver will be available and is included in the cost of the workshop, however if you require extra this will be charged for per gram and payable (card or exact cash only) on the day. You are welcome to provide your own CLEAN sterling silver scrap to use - please let me know if this is what you would like to do. Dates: 2nd September 8th October 7th January 2025
