About the Book:

The casting experience in pewter offers a versatile, inventive material with which to work and a "eureka" quality which the traditional metals lack, not to mention its low cost and practicality for classroom use. This book should serve only as an impetus for the artist, student, and teacher, encouraging them to search and investigate the possibilities of pewter casting. The basic casting procedures are discussed with possible variations for each technique. A list of basic materials and equipment is included to assist in setting up a casting program in the classroom. The pewter supplied by the suggested art supply sources has no lead content.

Some Book Reviews:

5/5 stars - Really great book

This is a really great book about casting. I was excited by all the information that it had. Lots of techniques to try. I was making a list of supplies as I was reading through it. I can't wait to try all the different projects.

--Barbara Tilley

5/5 stars - This is a glance back in time -- such an interesting and professional artist.

I enjoyed seeing an earlier iteration of jewelry-making with rather primitive materials. I like the somewhat "untutored" aspects of his work even though he was a well-known pro. The book makes one want to cast pewter!
