Medallions of Bronze
Tuesday 1:30 - 4:30 $75 Debbi Simon July 30
Student Level: All
Type of Workshop: Process
Love the look and agelessness of bronze objects but think you can only cast it by bringing it to its molten state? Let me show you how easy it is to cast bronze powder with resin as its binder. Students will learn to make molds and cold cast with bronze powder/resin. All though the casted piece will not be sinister by a kiln, the resin becomes its binder, and the final piece looks and feels much like traditional metal. In addition students will learn how to add found objects and patina’s into their casts that wouldn’t be able to be used or achieved at higher temps and finishing techniques.
