About the Course
Create a fab ‘one-of-a-kind’ piece of silver jewelry by casting silver in cuttlefish bone! Cuttlebone is an age-old sustainable material, where soft layers of bone can be easily carved with a design of your choice. The mold can easily withstand high temperatures for molten silver, holding its form and shape until the piece is removed. Each mold can be used only once, hence ‘one-of-a-kind’ jewellery!

You will learn everything from scratch - from designing to carving the mold in cuttlebone and finally casting & finishing one piece of jewellery.
