Water Casting

Water Casting Workshop ~

Emilie Shapiro, Instructor

Water Casting is the art of melting metal to its molten form

and then pouring it into water. This shocks the metal,

creating spontaneous forms and unusual shapes.

In this workshop we learn how to recycle metal, create many different alloys, pour metal into different liquids and over forms, and fabricate jewelry out of the water cast pieces. 

This is an easy and fun process that can be repeated at your home studio with very few tools. Your old jewelry (gold and silver) can be cast into new and wondrous forms, and (optional) if you have any small diamonds already set in metal and wish to recycle them into a new piece, please bring them too. We will experiment with casting/soldering with diamonds.

The water cast pieces can be made into earrings, pendants, and pins during the work shop. Extra materials will be provided.
