About

Join us for this demonstration introducing viewers to the Lost Wax Casting Process. BARN is now offering a "Casting by Proxy" service to Members who wish to have their wax or 3d models cast.

A Casting By Proxy live viewing session will be held online once a month. BARN Jewelry Studio monitors will perform the multi-task process of Lost Wax Casting into metal of wax carvings, 3d print outs, organic materials, or other non-toxic models that have been submitted to the Jewelry studio.

BARN Members are encouraged to drop off their wax models or other objects for casting at BARN. Due to limited space in the kiln, you must register for a spot to have your items casted. Please click here to reserve a spot in the kiln for next month's Casting by Proxy session.
