Casting Open Studio gives you access to the BJC casting equipment with 2 scheduled, in-class casting sessions, along with weekly dedicated instructor access. This course is designed for makers who want the freedom to work on their own projects but would also benefit from the guidance and assistance of an instructor who can help them problem-solve, sprue, invest, cast and finish. The course will be free from weekly demonstrations and the instructor will work 1-on-1 with students to manage their time and craft the objects they want to craft. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" id=\"docs-internal-guid-4670bbe4-7fff-eb10-9624-404599089c45\"\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-cf3b5558-7fff-b8e5-5021-802b326e7279\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrerequisite: Waxworking 1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e or equivalent experience necessary\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eMaterials kit provided. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eRegistration includes a $50 materials fee.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eTuition and fees for classes at the Baltimore Jewelry Center are subsidized in large part by grants and contributions from our community.
