In the Dawson Jewelry Making Camp, students will have the opportunity to create silver rings, earrings and necklaces, while learning the elements of basic jewelry making. In addition, campers will learn the “lost” art of wax casting, a method developed in Ancient Egypt. The lost wax casting process involves creating a wax model which is then suspended in a metal flask. A plaster-like material called investment is poured over the model. The invested flask is then placed in a kiln, and the wax model is slowly melted out until only the negative cavity, the exact shape of the original, remains. Molten metal (silver) is then vacuumed into this negative space and allowed to cool and solidify. The metal piece is removed from the plaster. Sprues (the bump at the opening where the molten metal was poured into the mold) are cut and ground. Various polishing media are used to bring the piece to its final polished state.
