Intro to Casting

Had a very fun student this week for my two day intensive lost wax / sandcasting / injection mold class. Day one is carving, spruing and investing, and while the investment cures, intro to sandcasting. I burn out flasks the next morning for casting, clean up, and wax injection molds. My student wanted to take one wax signet ring and walk it through all the potential options for reproduction. Quite a success!

Winter Farmer’s Market

I’ll be attending the Montpelier, Vermont Farmer’s Market with jewelry and hand forged kitchen knives, bi-weekly, Saturdays from Dec to April. The bees are tucked in for Winter, and I’m hoping for a much bigger bee-yard next year. X fingers.
