Pewter Casting Workshop

$40.00

Saturday, April 19 @ 1:00

Learn the basics of metal casting with this fun and approachable workshop taught by local artist Jody Farmer.

Workshop Overview:

This hands-on workshop introduces participants to pewter casting using high-heat silicone molds. Because pewter melts at a low temperature (~450°F), it allows for safe and accessible metal casting without needing a full foundry setup.

Since high-heat silicone molds require 24 hours to cure, participants will learn how to make a mold, but for casting, they will select from various pre-made molds prepared in advance. This ensures everyone can complete a finished pewter piece within the session.

Participants will learn:

· The basics of pewter casting and safety protocols

· How to prepare and pour high-heat silicone molds (demonstration only)

· Safe melting and pouring techniques for pewter

· Finishing techniques including filing, polishing, and optional patinas

Each participant will cast their pewter object and leave with hands-on knowledge of small-scale metal casting.
