Waxes will be cast using the lost wax casting process by Regal castings. Once cast into metal you’ll learn finishing techniques to complete your jewellery back in the workshop.
Our resident jewellers will also lead you through the ancient technique of sand casting. You’ll create multiple experimental pieces using small objects to create negative space in delft clay, in which to pour your molten silver in this organic casting process.
