Silver Pendant - Delft Sandcasting
A two-session workshop carving a wax design and casting a silver pendant using Delft sand casting, led by Tara Campbell.
About it
Friday 5 & Saturday 6 February | 6pm - 9pm (Fri) & 10am - 4pm (Sat) | £80 Carve, cast and create your own silver pendant. Across two sessions, you’ll get to experience the whole process of creating your very own silver pendant. From carving your design in wax, to casting it into silver using the traditional Delft sand casting method.
On the first evening, you’ll learn how to carve your own wax motif. You can keep it simple or get creative with shapes, textures and patterns to make something that feels completely your own.
The following day, you’ll use your wax design to create a mould in Delft casting sand before watching it transform into solid silver.
Once your pendant has been cast, you’ll clean it up and solder on your own jumpring, leaving you with a unique piece of handmade silver jewellery to take home and wear.
No previous jewellery making experience is needed, just bring your ideas and a willingness to get stuck in! All materials are included as well as full access to specialist tools and equipment.
Please do not wear open toed footwear and please tie back long hair.
