I schedule a weekend program 'Basics of Metal Casting' every July here at the Wareham Forge. This 14 hour program covers two techniques :
Bronze casting in green sand
Pewter casting in Soapstone

Gorgeous casting, Darrell. Wouldn't mind one of these for myself.
Who took the pictures? I remember Neil and I taking some - did we ever share them with you?
