This is a super quick 3-hour session, and is great fun to do with family or friends.Water casting is a really hands-on low-tech casting method that results in surprising and fun little forms that can be turned into pendants with amazing textures and shapes.
You will be guided through melting silver and pouring it into water to create little charms.
Experiment with pouring at different heights to create different shapes.
Choose one or a few of your favourites to have drilled and turn into simple pendants or earrings, or new charms for your bracelets!
We will use hardened jump rings to attach your water-cast pieces to either colourful cord or you can choose sterling silver chains which you can purchase for extra.
The technique will be demonstrated with important health and safety practices, then students will be guided to do at least a couple of casts, and should expect to have at least one successful item to clean up and finish in the class.
A basic amount of metal allowance of a small amount of silver is included in your course costs, and if your projects go over that amount you can pay for the metal you use on the day via internet banking or cash.
This course is open to complete beginners and advanced makers. Extra materials such as chains and findings are available to purchase.
For health and safety reasons class participants must wear sturdy, closed toe shoes and have their hair tied back.
Workshop fee $128, Early bird $115 till 17 August.
