Pewter casting

As we begin the new courses for the year with another class of keen and creative students in year nine we again start with the pewter castings. We now have a laser cutter and will experiment with cutting the designs out in wood rather than the cuttlefish shells. It will allow far more detail and accuracy. One senior student did just this and the result was really good (first design). All the other designs were cast into cuttlefish shells.
