Students will learn about making molds for casting, while learning the basics of cold casting with bronze powder and resin. Much like metal clay, the bronze, in powder state, is added to a binder. In cold casting the binder is resin. Although the casted piece will not be sintered 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 color that wouldn’t be able to be used at high temps. Students will also learn all finishing techniques.
