Pewter Casting with Giulia Gentili

Learn to cast pewter medals with moulds made from cuttlefish. Using a variety of tools you will carve into a dried cuttlefish bone to create a patterned mould. Using a blowtorch and an old tin can, you will melt pewter to pour into your moulds. At the end of the course you will have made a 5cm diameter cast pewter disc.
