Class 1503- Found and Lost - An Overview Of Lost Wax Casting
---------------------------------------------------------------
Part One : Found (one day session)
A
hands-on course that explores making flexible, reusable molds for the
production of repeatable parts. Students will be asked to bring in a
minimum of 10 small "found" objects (objects must not have any
dimension thicker than1".) We will discuss all the objects in terms of
approaches for making flexible molds, then identify the best choices to
make. Lab fee for mold materials.
Part Two: Lost ( 2 days)
In
this "part 2" course we will take the wax parts we make in our new
flexible molds and turn them into "lost wax " glass castings.
Mysteries will be revealed about how the wax is "lost" and how glass
takes its place. A variety of plaster mold making methods will be
explained. Hand built versus poured? Reinforcement methods? Hi temp
versus conventional plasters? Each student will make one small 3
dimensional glass casting.
Instructor: Debra Ruzinsky
Dates : Saturday Nov. 9th from 1 to 5pm
