Summer workshops and KIDS CAMP schedule


in all of our Pewter Lab workshops at f. is for frank...

All students will receive a demonstration of the molding and
casting processes at the start of every workshop. Then we will
help you create your one of a kind design, out of a special clay.
By providing you with a variety of tools and materials and
hand-on assistance, we will help you achieve your ultimate
piece. We will then bake the clay and prepare it for the mold
making process. Due to the time it takes to create molds,
we do not mold and cast your particular design that day,
but you will have the opportunity to practice the casting
process on existing molds in the lab.
All creations are ready in 1-2 weeks.
