the following is a project designed to teach students about metal work
This was a project that I developed with students to try and show the SETBACKS and rewards from working with metal. The students WERE asked to produce a pewter cast key ring. during this the students had to use laser cutting techniques that they had used previously to produce the moulds.
in reflection i would have liked to give the student more opportunity to explore the POSSIBILITIES of pewter casting, e.g, multiple layered moulds and hope to attempt this during next year.
