I’ve been looking for a replacement kiln for my dad who is a silversmith/goldsmith, and they are pricey.
Would something like this be acceptable as a replacement it is relatively cheaper.
The only handprint I have for my kid is in this foam like material from a Christmas ornament kit. I think the material is slowly degrading and don’t want to lose the handprint. Is there any way to cast this from a foam impression? Any and all advice would be appreciated, don’t even know where to begin or what kind of craftsperson to speak with about this.
Made of fine silver. What do you think with or without the patina?
Recently began casting using sirayatech royal blue castable resin and prestige optima investment (38:100). My kiln is programmed 300-700-1350-1025 (all with ramps and holds). I always pour at around 1000C, sterling is poured at 1025C. For some reason I always get these crevices/pits everywhere. They’re on the shank and sides of the skull. Any ideas/pointers?
Hello, so I have been delftclay casting wax rings etc with decent success however I have run out of surfaces to wear jewellery on and it’s a friends birthday soon so I’d love to make a pass the pigs set.
It’s two tiny pig figures that you roll like dice but I haven’t found a way to clay cast the offset leg shape and delicate ears.
Anyone done anything similar who would like to share knowledge?
