Beginner Casting: Bottle Openers

The Metal Museum offers a roster of innovative and affordable classes in blacksmithing, welding, casting and non-ferrous metals. Whether it's a "taster," a three-hour, one-day or weekend workshop, you are sure to learn a lot, have fun and make beautiful metal items that you can be proud of.
 

This beginner's course will introduce concepts in molding a multi-dimensional form. Students will choose from a variety of patterns in our Foundry. During mold making, you will learn how to find a parting line on an irregular object in order to create a two-part mold. Participants will have the opportunity to cast their mold in bronze and they will learn more integrated knowledge about metal flow and plumbing of a mold. Each student will leave with two bottle openers in bronze.
