“Brad works with each person at their level and supports them throughout the process. I appreciate his “can do” spirit and dedication to helping each person succeed to create something beautiful and valuable. The group grows closer as we learn from each other and I love that I can turn to anyone in his groups and feel we are in this together! Thank you Brad! It takes a special person to be so dedicated and passionate to teach others with love.”

Make Your Own Cross Pendant – A Two-Hour Jewelry Casting Workshop
Experience the excitement of pouring molten metal and create a cross pendant with the rugged, one-of-a-kind character of traditional sand casting.
Choose from six distinctive cross designs, ranging from simple and primitive to Celtic and Gothic-inspired forms. You’ll press your chosen design into Delft clay, melt your choice of solid copper or sterling silver, and pour the molten metal into the mold yourself.
Once your casting has cooled, you’ll refine, texture, and polish your cross, allowing the natural imperfections and organic character of the casting process to become part of the finished piece.
No two castings will be exactly alike.
Every participant leaves with a completed cross pendant and matching bail, ready to wear on the chain or cord of their choice.
No experience is necessary. Beginners are always welcome.
Choose From Six Cross Designs
Select the design that speaks to you. Six original cross styles will be available to choose from at the workshop, each designed specifically to take advantage of the raw, organic character of sand casting.
