WOW Mobile Metal Lab and Show is a traveling sculpture foundry and exhibition space in a converted metro transit city bus that brings the entire cast metal process to you, your business/organization or event.
WOW conducts demonstrations, workshops, festive activities and residencies that educate, inspire, and celebrate personal expression and community vision through the cast metal process.
WOW travels to schools, businesses, organizations, fairs and festivals offering programming for all ages and skill levels to participate in the process of creating individual cast metal objects/sculptures or collaborative public art.

Learn how to sculpt with the subtractive process, how to make a 2-piece mold, melt and pour metal.

Every collar had a story.....
CELEBRATE AND SHARE HER STORY WITH YOUR PERSONALIZED RBG COLLAR NECKLACE!
The Notorious RBG wore jabots or neck collars of lace, rhinestones, fabric and gold chains were symbolic and coordinated with her court ruling agreements and disagreements. Her expressive styles of nostalgic, punk rock, sleek and simple, gold wings were thoughtful embellishments that reflected her values, opinions and her stature as a female Supreme Court justice.
Create your custom collar design and carve it out of a cuttlefish bone that is used as a mold. Pour lead-free pewter into your mold and do metal finishing work with hand/power tools. Choose your necklace/keychain/pin hardware, attach your collar casting and WEAR IT and SHARE IT!
The castings are much smaller than the actual collar size. The size of design needs to fit in 2" x 2 ". We are creating a casting that will be attached to a necklace/keychain/pin.
There will be template designs available for you to select from.
