Relief Casting

Relief casting is the art of pouring molten metal over various surfaces to capture intricate textures and impressions. This introductory course focuses on classic texture techniques, including broom, salt, bean, and water casting, each producing unique organic patterns that add depth and character to your work.

These textured metal forms can be used in fabrication, soldered into larger designs, or transformed directly into jewelry with simple modifications like drilling and adding jump rings. Whether you’re looking to create bold standalone pieces or enhance your metalwork with rich textures, this course provides the foundational skills to experiment with relief casting in a controlled and creative way.
