For Metal/Jewellery we got to create a plaster mould out of clay by using different tools to make impressions in the clay. We then made a circular cutter out of card to add the plaster to the clay mould to harden to then get our final art piece.
For the second half of Metal/Jewellery we got to do sand casting. For this we used a sweet tin to pack the sand into. To start adding are impressions we had to add a back shape that we imprinted into the sand so that the Pewter metal wouldn’t be singular pieces but a full piece creating a medal. I choose to use a star shape as my back and then used different utensils to make my impressions into the sand. Once I was ready I had to pore the Pewter, melted metal into the sand casting and allow it to cool and finally present as a final Metal medal piece. I enjoyed to process of both plaster mold making and sand casting and being able to put my own stamp into the design.
