Waste moulds are single use as they are destroyed during the process. Participants then have the option to cast a small object they have brought in\, or select something from around the workshop to make a plaster piece mould. Piece moulds are made of more than one interlocking parts and can be reused for making multiple casts. \nDay two\nYou will finish the plaster piece mould and have the option to use this to make a wax cast. The concrete cast from the previous day will be chipped out of its plaster waste mould and cleaned up. When selecting an object to bring in to cast\, make sure that it is a simple three dimensional shape\, about handsized or slightly larger and preferrably something with volume. It can be made of wood\, stone\, plastic\, metal or ceramic. Please bring the object on the first day\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Additional Information\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Please note there will be a 1 hour lunch break each day (lunch not provided)\nBasic materials are included\nHealth and Safety briefing will be given\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n What Should I Bring\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Please bring a notebook/sketchbook\nIt is essential to wear old clothes and strong footwear \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n CLICK HERE TO BOOK THIS COURSE ON EVENTBRITE\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n CLICK HERE TO DOWLOAD PDF OF COURSE DETAILS URL:https://londonsculptureworkshop.org/event/plaster-mould-making-thurs-fri-19-20-nov-2026/ LOCATION:LSW CATEGORIES:Mould Making ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://londonsculptureworkshop.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/1080x600-lsw-plaster-moulds-01.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20261121T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20261121T130000 DTSTAMP:20260824T180449Z CREATED:20260824T180448Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260824T180449Z UID:4439-1795255200-1795266000@londonsculptureworkshop.org SUMMARY:Introductory Welding for Artists (Sat 21 Nov 2026 - Morning) DESCRIPTION:If you’ve ever considered joining bits of metal together in your art\, and wondered how best to do it\, then this short course will get you up and running.This 3 hour session will allow you to learn the basic skills of Mig and Arc welding\, using scrap metal to practice and develop your skills. Grinding and safe workshop practice will be covered.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Dates & Times\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Saturday 21st November 2026 10.00 – 13.00 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Session & Places\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1 Session with 6 places on the course\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Cost\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n £75.00 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Tutor\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Andrew Revell B.A. Fine Art\, GlosCAT & WSCAD (Farnham Art College) \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n What Will I Learn\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n During this hands-on workshop you will be introduced to Mig\, Spot & Arc Welding – learning more about what they are and when and where to use them.\nTips and tricks for beginners and improvers\nWelders terms\, types of joints and problem solving\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n What Will I Do\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Learn how to join steel together and gain confidence by practicing techniques.

Pewter is a silver coloured alloy which melts at a low temperature and can easily be cast on a gas hob. The pewter we use for this course is lead free and has a high tin content which makes it soft to work and very good for hammering and shaping after it has been cast. Traditionally pewter has been used for cups and plates but it can also be used to cast metal sculptures and is very good for making fine intricate work. It also works well combined with wood or stone. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n What Will I Do \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Day oneExperiment with different waxes to make a small sculpture to cast. You may also bring in a wax you have already made to cast\, but please be aware that due to the rising costs of pewter try to keep the wax relatively small (eg. the size of a lemon). \nDay twoAdd casting ‘runners’ and ‘risers’ to your wax sculptures in preparation for casting\, then make plaster moulds. These moulds will then be heated to burn out the wax which will leave a negative cavity to be filled with molten pewter. \nDay threeMelt and cast molten pewter into your plaster moulds. Allow to cool and then chisel out the casts and clean them up. \nDay fourFinish your artwork\, polishing\, patination\, welding and cold working of pewter. This will be followed by instruction on how to set up your own pewter casting works. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Additional Information \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Beginners and those more experienced are welcome.\nPlease note there will be a 1 hour lunch break each day (lunch not provided)\nBasic materials are included.
