RESOURCES AND LINKS
This partial list of links to casters and more information about lost wax casting and jewelry is offered to assist my clients and students in their research... as well as a couple of sites that are great places to spend a little leisure time. The list is not complete and I will continue to add and remove links as my information is updated. The inclusion of a caster on my links page is not an endorsement or guarantee of their quality or service.
