Pewter Casting

Mr Grundy explained to us at tech that we will be using pewter alloy to create a necklace and he also told us all the safety rules for his class. We watched an instructional video or ‘how to’ explaining the steps and ways to create the necklace.
I am going to choose a silhouette and trace it on to some wood, make a cast then pour the liquid pewter in for the final shape. I can’t wait to use the different sandpapers to buff my necklace up all shiny.
I will give it to him and he will polish it up with brasso to make it extra shiny.Then you add the clip to your pewter and then you put your necklace around your neck and clip it and that how you really make a necklace.

  1. Thanks for sharing the video Magdalen, I am sure it was helpful to watch before you created your necklace. Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Are you able to share a picture of your necklace?
