I have a question about cores for ceramic shell casting. I teach a foundry class, so I am no newbie. Generally for hollow pieces I cut out a section or make sure the piece is designed so that the center will build up a shell and be able to dry properly. But, I am now doing some foundry work for another artist out of my studio of some small animal figures. These are a little too big to cast solid (though I can if necessary), but a little too small for a large enough opening to allow the shell to make a strong core -- soooooooo.....I have been looking into using some sort of core material.</p> <br class="clear-both" /><!-- google_ad_section_end --> <p><a href="http://www.artmetal.com/blog/daniel_rotblatt/2007/10/cores_for_ceramic_shell_casting">read more</a></p> http://www.artmetal.com/blog/daniel_rotblatt/2007/10/cores_for_ceramic_shell_casting#comment bronze casting bronze sculpture ceramic shell core lost wax casting Mon, 15 Oct 2007 02:14:13 -0500 Daniel Rotblatt 4230 at http://www.artmetal.com
