Pour molten silver over straw brooms, rock salt, lentils, and more! The metal casts the negative space of whatever you're pouring over, resulting in one of a kind organic-shaped pieces to use in your work. The process is immensely fun because you never know what you'll get from each pour! And it's immensely economical as well, since it recycles your silver scrap metal and any results you don't like can always be melted again.

Beginners welcome. Experienced broom-casters can use our setup for a work day.

Supplies: Materials are not included with registration. Bring your own scrap or purchase some from the studio at a reduced rate.
