Tech Reflection | Pewter Casting

This week for tech at Tamaki College, we carried on with our 16 designs for our 4 recipients. We made sure that we didn't have any skinny and detailed parts of our designs. After we completed finding designs for our recipients, we chose one designs we wanted to create for a recipient. We decided to chose a Micky mouse designs that wasn't too difficult. Once we chose a design, Mr Grundy printed it out, so we could create it. Mr Grundy showed us the first step, of how to carve out our designs, so we were ready for next week. 

Tech Reflection

This week at Tamaki College we did pewter casting with Mr Grundy. Today we finished our designs we would like to put on a necklace and the 4 recipients we would like to give the necklaces. If we chose any images that had skinny features or holes they could not be used since it is to hard to make. I have had a great time choosing designs for the necklaces.

Tech Reflection

This week was our first session of tech with Mr Grundy. Today we looked at pewter casting to make jewellery. First we planned our designs and who our recipients were. Mr Grundy showed us the steps of creating our designs, so we could have a clear understanding on how we make it. There were a few designs we were thinking of making. On a google doc, we wrote 4 recipients we would give our necklace to and some facts about what they like.
