A.H. in Grade 12 designed and 3D printed the mold for this casting, then we made a sterling silver replica through our lost wax casting process.

Lost Wax Casting
2020-21 Custom lost wax castings
Excellent work by L.J. and K.C. on the wand and snake rings! We also had students experiment with organic materials, which included these sterling silver cone and cedar branch pieces.
2020-21: Custom fox ring carved by A.K.
Awesome custom-carved lost wax castings!
Early 2020 Grade 12 student B.G. really took to casting, and used his artistic skills to custom-carve his own sterling silver skull ring (in-process and completed photos here). We decided to finish off his ring with a liver-of-sulfur patina to give it a darker sheen, and it turned out SO good!
Also pictured is a second casting hand-carved by B.G. (heart inside a triangle). Excellent work, and I hope post-grad life is treating you well!
Lost Wax Castings
Gorgeous castings done by students in Fall 2019 – these were cast with a Centrifuge out of silver, and hand finished and polished.
Custom Lost Wax Casting
This project was lovingly hand-carved and shaped by A.K., a top student in Jewelry 10 in Fall 2019! Cast out of sterling silver, this project featured geometric angles created with a file and sandpaper, as well as a carved centre detail. Excellent work, A.K.!
Lost Wax Castings
Sterling silver castings made by Senior Jewelry students. Students learn the entire process, including mounting and investing, casting with a centrifugal basin and crucible, and finishing and polishing.

Pieces by Fall 2018 Senior Jewelry students, including bee earrings and a whole mess o’ manatees (oh, the hu-manateeee!) :). Awesome work, folks!

Inspired by some of Gray Metal’s work out of Vancouver, C.R. in Grade 12 carved and cast this gorgeous ring out of sterling silver – love the geometric style!
lost wax castings
A selection of beautiful lost wax castings from Spring 2018 – all cast from sterling silver, and students choose their own design (either pre-made patterns or they carve their own). Excellent work!
