Sand casting is a great way of creating unique pieces of jewellery by pouring molten metal into sand moulds. In this workshop with Renata Fojtikova, you will discover how to create moulds/models for making silver signet rings, using wax and delft clay (sand). You will also be guided through preparing metal for pouring and using oxy torches for melting precious metals. In addition to this you will also find out how to flush set faceted stones into your pieces. At the end of the workshop, you will have your own original signet ring set with a sparkling gem. This workshop is suitable for any skill level and is ideal for anyone keen to learn about recycling old/broke jewellery into new wearable pieces. Participants wishing to recycle their silver/gold jewellery are encouraged to bring their own.
