Description The Delft Clay Method of Casting is a form of sand casting. It makes it possible to make remarkably sharp castings of many objects in gold, silver and other metals. After casting, the Delft clay can be re-used immediately. The clay has been developed for gold and silversmiths but is also put into practice in model making. As a model one can use an existing piece of jewellery or a model made of hard material, like plastic, hard wax, wood, metal, stone, etc. The used Delft clay is a mouldable clay in which one can easily press a model. The cast objects are very detailed and hardly distinguishable from the original model. After the casting, the clay 1 mm around the cast is burned and has to be removed. The rest of the clay can be re-used immediately.
