WildVibes: Pewter Casting (Ages 11-16)

WildVibes: Pewter Casting Workshop (Ages 11-16)

Get ready for our half day WildVibes workshop!

Join Clare, an experienced creative facilitator, and Asim, our supportive youth worker, for a hands-on Pewter Casting half day session in the woodland. Never tried pewter casting before? It involves melting lead-free pewter (a tin-based alloy) and pouring it into a mold to create a desired shape, often used for jewellery, model-making, and many other crafts.

What to Expect:

🔑 Cast your mould – Learn how to make a mould from a cuttlefish and fill it in with the molten metal! With it, you will make your own key ring fob or a pendant.

🧩 Make a figurine – In the second part of the session, we will explore sand casting by imprinting a figurine before pouring the metal into it.
🔥 Cosy Creativity – Enjoy the refreshing squash or a cup of hot chocolate (with optional marshmallows!) as you create.

🥪 Lunch break – During the workshop, we will also take time to have a lunch break, so please remember to bring your lunch with you.

This is an outdoor workshop, so dress warmly and wear sturdy footwear. We have a covered area in case of rain, so the session will go ahead whatever the weather!

📍 Meeting Point: Cup-O-T’s woodland entrance
📅 Date & Time: Friday, 8th August, 10am-2pm
🎟️ Tickets: £3

These sessions are funded by Norfolk Community Foundation, Asda Foundation, Co-op Local Community Fund, and Aviva Access to Nature Fund.

Come and make your own key ring fob or a pendant while immersing yourself in nature. We can’t wait to create with you!
