Metalwerx is proud and excited to offer our second workshop on the new Ti-Research Casting unit. This three day intensive workshop will focus on the many possibilities this small scale casting machine offers artists and small shops.

Topics covered will include molding your pieces and injecting waxes, as well as the treeing, investing, and casting methods specific to this machine. Each student will be given the opportunity to take their own work from master model to cast piece over the course of the class, with many demonstrations and plenty of time for hands on practice.

Students are invited to bring a variety of masters to work with, in addition to any questions!You can read more about this casting unit on the TI website: www.ti-research.com
