What you'll do
In this one-day course, you will explore the captivating technique of casting gemstones directly within Delft clay. This course will walk you through the process of selecting stones suitable for this method, as well as instructing you on the proper placement of gems within the mold to ensure successful castings.The day will commence with a warm cup of coffee or tea as we review examples of the projects you will be creating. A presentation will cover the fundamental principles of incorporating stones into Delft clay castings, complemented by live demonstrations.You have the option to bring your own projects or choose from a variety of objects such as toys and jewellery models to replicate in silver. Using the Delft clay casting method, we will press the object into an aluminium mold filled with specialised sand that retains its shape when compressed. Gemstones will be delicately added within the mold.Silver will be melted in a crucible and poured into the mold, creating a silver casting from your object. The casting will then need to be finished and polished in a specific manner to avoid damaging the stones.You can expect to cast 1 to 2 projects such as rings and pendants during the day.The workshop runs from 10:30am to 4:30pm with a maximum of 2 places available per workshop. The price is per person.There will be about a 45-minute break for lunch. There is a lot to cover and a lunch break allows your brain a little time to take it all in! Your day includes tea and coffee during the day, but your lunchtime is free to visit any of the local cafes.
