Holy smokes! This year’s Jewelry/Metalwork 9/10 crew was NOT messing around! Students worked hard to carve their own unique design, then cast the plaster with molten pewter. Folks also have the option to use epoxy resin in their casting if they choose – check out that Eye of Sauron or the hammerhead shark for resin examples. Great work everyone!
Some students went extra creative and used epoxy resin (we use EcoPoxy with added pigmentation and sometimes GLITTER). Nice work, y’all!
These Jewelry 9/10 students in Fall 2019 hand-carved their chosen design into plaster blocks to create their pewter casting projects. Great work!
