City of Homer Community Recreation LOST WAX JEWELRY CASTING CLASS, 3 day class, February 20-22, 2026
An original model is sculpted in wax, then encased in a special plaster mold. After the wax is burnt out (& thus “lost”), the resulting cavity is injected with molten silver. The one-of-a-kind casting is then finished & polished. Can include simple stone settings. Students can later pursue this technique without a large investment in equipment, as there are local casting services available at a reasonable cost. TIMES: HOMER: Friday, 6-9 PM; Saturday, 9 AM-5 PM; Sunday, NOON-6 PM OR TBD by class. (contact me for Anchorage times and details.)
COST:$180, ($100 for students who are repeating the same class) + cost of materials (average project $20-50). Includes Homer Community Recreation fee of $25, use of all tools and supplies (waxes, plaster, patinas, sandpaper, saw blades, etc.) Silver, bronze and copper as well as some cabochon stones available at cost. Students may provide their own tools & materials, including stones. Old silver and gold can be melted for casting. ALL FEES ARE PAYABLE DIRECTLY TO INSTRUCTOR.
