Cuttlefish-Bone Casting
A fun and creative hands-on introduction to jewelry casting!
Workshop Description
Join us for a hands-on workshop where you'll learn the art of cuttlefish bone casting — a traditional metal casting technique using the bone-like shell of a cuttlefish. Perfect for beginners and jewelry enthusiasts alike, this workshop guides you through all the steps of the process. Carve your mold into the soft bone of the cuttlefish, watch the molten metal pour in and put the finishing touches on a piece of sterling silver jewelry to create a one-of-a-kind piece. Walk away with your own handcrafted item and a new skill rooted in centuries-old craft! *The class instructor will do the actual torch work and casting while the students observe. Please plan to wear closed-toed shoes, clothing that you don't mind if it gets a little dirty, and bring your reading glasses if you need them. This is a 2-3 hour class (depending on the number of participants, it can take a little longer to finish all the castings. Plan for two hours for up to 3 people and up to 3 hours for 4-6 participants.)
