Students in this class will learn the techniques necessary for investment casting metals. We’ll first make models of the items to be cast – either by sculpting wax into the desired shape, or by casting wax into a rubber mold of an existing object. We will then build ceramic shells around the models, burn out the wax, and cast molten bronze, brass or aluminum into the resulting mold. If time permits, we will also cover the basics of sand casting.
