This class is designed to give students a basic knowledge of the tools and techniques used to produce bronze and aluminum castings from molten metal poured into sand molds. The workshop will consist of lecture, demonstration and hands-on-activities. Each student will make at least two molds and pour one casting in aluminum. Students may choose simple patterns supplied in class, but are highly encouraged to bring s omething of their own design. Size and weight of casting is limited and design considerations are important, so please consult with Metal Museum foundry staff or Bob Rogers at bobr58@bellsouth.net or 901.278.7826 regarding personal castings. Students must provide their own safety glasses, hearing protection and gloves.
