Jewelry\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExperimentation, Materials, and Real Workshop Processes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis workshop was born from years of trials, errors, and countless hours experimenting alone in the workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is suitable for both beginners with no prior experience who want to get started in sand casting, as well as more experienced jewelers who wish to refine their skills and achieve more advanced techniques.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany of the techniques and processes I use today were not learned in a school, but by making mistakes again and again: testing materials, breaking pieces, discarding tools, and adapting systems until I found my own way of working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea of this workshop is precisely to share that experience: not as an academic jewelry course, but as a much closer, practical, and real session, focused on helping you understand the process, experiment without fear, and discover a freer and more organic way of working with metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat will we work on during the workshop?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the session, we will explore different processes related to sand casting applied to organic and textured jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSand preparation and compaction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTypes of molds and models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eReliefs and

will also look at real tools, systems, and materials that I use in my own artisanal work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of these tools have been developed or adapted after a long time of testing, especially for working with rings, seals, and pieces with more complex reliefs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the workshop, you will be able to see them, try them, and, if you wish, acquire some of the tools or implements I use in my own process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA much more practical and experimental approach\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis workshop is not focused on creating perfect pieces or following a rigid step-by-step technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea is to experiment, understand how the metal responds, and learn to work the process in a more natural, conscious, and creative way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main objective of the workshop is not to leave with a perfect finished piece, but to understand the process, experiment with the material, and acquire a real foundation from which to continue developing and exploring the technique on your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrecisely a large part of the difficulty of sand casting lies in knowing where to start, what materials to use, and how to avoid many of the common mistakes that appear at the beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften the most difficult thing is not finding information, but understanding what materials really work, what tools are worthwhile, or how to solve the problems that arise during the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd precisely that part is what I want to share here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe workshop

consult beforehand to calculate the approximate amount needed according to the type of piece, size, sprues, and possible losses inherent in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFormat\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIndividual workshop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate duration: 4

artisanal learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA space to explore materials, overcome fear of the process, and understand casting from a practical and close
