This will be a step by step show and talk of making an investment mould for kiln-casting glass. Using a hollow 3D print with internal detail, I will set it up, mix and apply the refractory investment. Working inside out, topics will include the creation of the 'core', building the outer shell, firing details, and how this method is applicable for lost wax and larger scale casting.
