In this 2-day workshop we will explore the world of pewter by creating 2 small figures (2 - 3 inches) using found objects, wax and small plastic toys. Cutting them apart and putting them together in unique ways to create a small sculpture. We will then make rubber molds of the objects.
On day 2 we will learn how to cut open the molds, casting the pewter, and finishing the pieces. You will leave with 2 pewter sculptures and 2 reusable rubber molds that you will be able to make more pieces with using techniques you have learned.
