In this course, you will explore the physical properties of various metals and processes used in small-scale casting. Processes covered will include lost wax, mould making for multiples, and metal alloying. There is a considered focus on creating original models from a wide range of wax processes. You will also experiment with creating metal alloys and understand how these alloys give colour. You will engage in methods and processes that foreground safe practices and consider environmental sustainability. Projects will encourage processes of documentation and reflection to inform and extend your studio work.??
