About this class

Discover the magic of molten metal in this bold and creative casting class!

Learn how to use sand casting techniques to create one-of-a-kind rings, bangles, cuffs and pendants with or without gemstones in a variety of metals.

You’ll gain hands-on experience with our brand-new sand casting molds, exploring how to shape, pour, and finish your own custom design.

This is the perfect opportunity to make a substantial statement piece while learning a dynamic and approachable casting method.

Safety and preparation

Before class
Coming from Canada, I drop ship a pallet of my personal studio equipment. Quite a cost to do this; however, it is to my student’s advantage to have access to everything needed to complete this project. Because I want my students to have personalized attention in my classroom, I hire professional assistants who are amazing, qualified, and capable metalsmiths. My goal is to maintain a ratio of 4-5 students per instructor/assistant.
