Cuttlefish casting with pewter
 
Date to be confirmed, please email Jacky to discuss available dates.
 
An exciting opportunity to introduce learners to the possibilities of metal .
Suitable for all age groups from Year 1 to 6th Form.
 
Jacky will come along to your school, bringing all the equipment and materials, to allow the group to go through the process of carving a mould out of a cuttlefish bone and then they will get the opportunity to melt the pewter with a gas torch.
 
A full day ( 6 hour) session will be enough time for two class to engage fully with the process, 
Ideally the session should take place in a well ventiallated room or a covered outdoor space.
 
Classes of up to 30 can be accomodated at a time. Each class will have a half day session. Each class will be split in  half with another activity provided but will need supervision. 
 
All materials are supplied, due to the change in prices of materials in the current climate a cost for this can be discussed prior to booking. Jacky is keen to share her love of metal with as many young people as possible, the sessions can be adapted, to offer more experimental approaches, using more material, or to keep the pieces created on a smaller scale to fit within a budget
 
If the workshop is for a school outside of London travel expenses will be added. Please contact Jacky for a quote.
