Sand Casting for Jewellers Course Trailer

We are super excited to announce our brand new jewellery making course, Sand Casting for Jewellers taught by experienced jeweller Iain Sainsbury!

Sand Casting is a traditional metal casting technique that uses a special type of fine sand to create a mould. A model (often made of wax, metal, or another solid material) is pressed into the sand to create an impression.

Molten metal is then poured into this cavity, and the metal takes on the shape of the original model once it cools and solidifies. After breaking away the sand mould, the rough casting is revealed and is refined through filing, polishing, and finishing.

Sand Casting is for you if you love the idea of capturing organic textures and unique surface details. It is an adaptable method of jewellery making for small-scale production or one-of-a-kind pieces.
