Have you ever wanted to try metal casting?
You will design a part, make a pattern and cast it in metal at this one day class. We will use a lost-foam casting technique to cast the piece you design in aluminum. You will be able to do basic finishing and bring home what you make at the end of the day.

Whether your goal is to make a unique piece of art, or just to learn about metal casting methods, this class is an excellent way to experience the excitement of casting your own design in metal.

• Minimum age of 16 to join this class or age 14 with a parent or guardian (who also need to be in the class).
