Discover 6 Unique Casting Styles
Kim's Brand New "Secret" Casting Method
Create an incredibly unique, bubble type texture in your metal with this medium that Kim discovered.
Pine Needle Casting or Broom Straw Casting
You'll love this method because each casting has a linear, long, organic shape that is fascinating to get to work with setting stones, using as prongs or you can add a bail and simply wear as they are.
Water Casting
The water casting is done by pouring molten metal into water and each casting has more of a floral Lily or exploded flower form, organic soft shape.
Salt Casting
We pour the molten metal into the salt and it forms these gorgeous sea coral like shapes then we can add pearls or half drilled stones or we can incorporate it with the pine needle casting or water casting we've done on the previous days.
Sand Casting
In sand casting we will be doing two dimensional castings & three dimensional castings. On 2D castings you will press a form into the sand and then pour the molten metal on top. On 3D casting you'll press the mold in the sand, then add more sand on top. In 3D casting you'll be able to make rings or complete objects.
Cuttlefish Bone Casting
With cuttlebone casting you'll be carving out designs and then pouring in the metal to create your own hand carved designs in metal.
