Today i had a class/ workshop on how lost foam works.
Really interesting! Its a bit like working with fibreglass molds… kind of! The way that you have to think backwards, about what you put into the mould, is going to look like when you remove it… you have to take into account the negative space of the foam, because that in turn will be where the metal sits!
Good fun workshop, apart from the searing heat from the forge and furnace!
I’ll definitely try and use the facilities again, and try and incorporate the lost foam final product into my final design!
