Silver

In our silver studio, members make silver pendants, rings, and other decorative items. The process consists of five steps:

• Pattern Creation: A wax pattern of the desired component is sculpted or molded.

• Investment: The wax pattern is encased in a refractory material which creates a mold.

• Burnout: Heat is applied to melt and remove the wax which leaves a hollow cavity.

• Casting: Molten metal is poured into the cavity filling the mold.

• Final Component: The mold is broken unveiling the finished metal component.
