What is Sandcasting?
Sandcasting is an ancient technique which dates back 3500 years but the more modern practice of using Delft Clay instead (which I use) was invented by a Dutch Goldsmith named Hans Karremen.
The delft clay is so fine, it produces a really detailed casting, perfect for my favourite lucky cowrie shells. The shell is sandwiched between two cylinders of delft clay then removed creating a cavity into which the molten silver is poured.
