DIY锡铸造

7月22日至26日，2019

This course will explore the lost wax process, while casting small pewter objects. We will cover all aspects of casting to create a base knowledge and vocabulary that is transferable to other types of metal casting. Techniques that will be covered include: rubber mold making, wax modeling, investing, and making a DIY (do it yourself) furnace for low temperature metals. Rick guides students through a series of mental exercises that encourages personal expression. For more info about 里克·帕森斯, please visit rickparsons.net
