Cuttlefish Casting Workshop

Cuttlefish Casting Workshop

Somerset Rural Life MuseumGlastonbury, England
Sunday, Apr 26, 2026 from 10 am to 4 pm
Overview

Join artist and metalworker Jacky Oliver for this introduction to the technique of casting using pewter in a cuttlefish bone.

This simple technique allows participants a great introduction to the potential of metalwork and casting.

You will draw directly into the cuttlefish bone to create a mould for the metal to be poured into. Your final piece can be taken home.

The session provides a suitable introduction for those with no metal casting experience. It could also give those with prior experience the opportunity to develop new ideas creatively.
