This 2 day session gives you staff-guided and safe access to our lost wax casting facility.
About this Event

Join us for 2 nights August 27-28, 6-9p to put your casting knowledge to work in our community casting session. It is designed to be one evening of wax work, with a knowledgeable staff member present to answer questions, followed by an evening of metal pouring and finishing the next day. Open Casting Sessions will be offered once a month and allow participants one flask to cast. Additional flasks will be $20 , payable to the instructor.

This is not a class, but rather a time in the studio with guidance to prepare a flask for casting and to cast it the following day. For safety reasons, Chimera staff will invest the flasks, load the kiln and coordinate the metal pouring.

To be eligible to participate, you must have taken a lost wax casting class, such as our “Production Casting” class.

Your flask must be ready to invest and metal needs to be weighed by 9pm of the first night. If your flask is not ready for casting, but you have paid for your session, it can be rolled over to the next month. You are not required to be present for casting day, but we must be provided with your metal and your own crucible before we load your flask in the kiln.

What’s Included:

  • Wax for injecting and for building trees
  • Investment materials and access to a kiln.
  • All necessary tools and safety equipment.

What to Bring:

  • Your own jewelry molds/wax projects
  • Closed-toed shoes
  • Magnifiers (if needed)
  • An apron
  • Your own crucible (can be purchased from Chimera Jewelry Department for $40)
  • Enough metal for casting your entire tree (bring day one)

Cancellation Policy: Attendees must register for classes or request cancellations/refunds 7 days in advance. Eventbrite fees will be charged to the attendee. No walk-ins.

Please contact [email protected] or [email protected] if you have any questions or if your child is aged 17 or under. See minor policy
