We offer regular courses in jewelery making, bronze casting, wickerwork and other handicrafts.

The casting course is held in the premises of sculptor Jens Galschiøt's workshop. Here we have set up a professional foundry school, where all the necessary machines and expertise are available.

About the courses

The art school offers 5-day courses in casting jewelry and sculptures.

After the course, you can bring your own art piece home.

The course is for both beginners and experienced. The mix of beginners and practitioners we see as a great source of inspiration for both parties. Even beginner can start working after some quick instructions.

During the course you will go through all the phases of the manufacturing process with the technique "cire perdue", which includes:

• Modeling in wax
• Setting up the wax placed in mold pipes
• Plastering and evacuation
• Waxing of plaster molds
• Plaster burnout Vacuum casting in silver or bronze
• Cleaning of plaster casts
• Grinding, oxidizing, polishing, and finishing of jewelry and sculpture

Preparation for course

Many participators make wax sculptors and jewelery at home in order  to use the course exclusively to cast and complete them. It is therefore a great advantage to pass by Gallery Galschiot and get some wax to take home. That way you have better time to let your creativity run free.

In the two schools, some fantastically beautiful floors in polished marble and granite have been laid. In the back area of ​​the schools you can see a large mosaic of a Mexican snake of 10 x 2 meters made of thousands of marble and granite pieces. This mosaic is made by one of Galschiøt's students - Marianne - and the Mexican painter Rey Morales.

To give the course participants the opportunity to produce many topics within the 5 days of the course, we have chosen to have a fixed material price, which includes the use of tools, plaster, evacuation, machines, polishes, metals, castings, etc.

Bronze Casting:

Items up to 50g = 2 kr. gram

Topics from 51g - 300g = 1 kr. gram

Silver Casting:

The daily price for silver (our purchase price) + 2 kr. per. gram.
