This one day course is open to anyone who has completed a wax course with us or elsewhere and would like to learn about how to clean up their castings and complete their projects including setting stones in some cases.
We recommend booking this course once you have your castings returned to you from a casting company. You will need to bring your castings with you as that is what we will be using to work on in the day.
