Bronze Casting: Casting in the Foundry

Learn and advance your metal-art skills by casting bronze or aluminum into a mold you've already created or one of our stock patterns.

Molten metal is poured into the mold you’ve formed in green sand (an environmentally safe mixture of fine sand, clay, and water). After your casting cools, you’ll free it from the mold and experience the thrill as your artistic creation emerges.

This is the second class in a 3 part series taking you though the process of creating your bronze masterpiece.  This series is self paced and separate registration in each class is required.  

• Bronze Casting: Patternmaking - Create a pattern you can cast into metal and begin your casting journey!
• Bronze Casting: Casting in the Foundry (This Class) - Cast your own pattern or use one of BARN's in this introduction to metal casting.
• Bronze Casting: Finishing Your Casting - Learn how to finish your rough casting with all of its unwanted gates, sprues, and runners.

We recommend repeating this class as desired (the same recommendation stands for the Bronze Casting: Finishing Your Casting class and, of course, guided studio in the foundry, which is where advanced casting skills are built).
