Small Scale Sandcasting is a hands-on workshop that teaches you to cast objects in bronze using efficient industrial techniques scaled for personal production. You will explore a low-tech, sustainable method that prioritizes material reuse while producing professional results quickly and safely. Participants will gain practical experience using cast iron frames and Petrobond sand to create precise molds. You will learn to manage an oxy-propane torch to melt bronze in a crucible before pouring the molten metal into your custom molds. The curriculum also covers essential finishing processes, including sawing, filing, sanding, sandblasting, and drilling. You will finish your pieces by learning how to apply a patina for a refined aesthetic. This class is ideal for makers, jewelry designers, and hobbyists interested in creating small sculptural pieces or custom hardware.
