Celebrate RBG and Share Her Story with Your Cast Metal Collar Sculpture or Pendant
January 29, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm
$40
Every collar has a story…..come and cast yours.
Create your design (or choose one from the collection), carve into a cuttlebone mold, and pour metal to make your dissent collar sculpture, necklace, brooch, bolo tie or hat pin.
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, carve it out of a cuttlebone that is used as a mold , pour lead-free pewter into it and do metal finishing work with hand tools. Choose your wearable hardware or a base to mount it on.
The castings are smaller than the actual collar size. The size of design needs to fit in 2″x2″. There will be template designs available for you to select from. No experience necessary.
This class will be in the Casket Arts Factory (not the WOW bus)! Sanitized work space and masks required.
