Hello:
Business for me has picked up witch is good (except for the
bounced check I just found out about- someone will have to pay me
next time up front with a cashier’s check!)
The flip side is now I can no longer hand fabricate all of my
pieces. Some items I am going to have to start casting. I had a
really bad experience casting when I was in school (I had an
order for 50 identical necklaces for a wedding party and
friends). I did not know much about the process and the casting
place I went to did not really like working with someone as green
as me.
Any tips for prepping pieces to be cast would be appreciated. I
plan on making copper versions of my pieces and then having them
cast to silver. I plan on casting a lot of bezels in place for
bracelets, rings …
Also if anyone can refer me to some casting places that would be
appreciated! I live in New York, but I don’t mind mailing items.
It actually saves me a lot of time and keeps me at my bench
instead of on the subway.
Thanks!
