Learn an ancient casting technique using the soft, carve-able bone of the cuttle fish with NCMAG member Erin House. You might recall this technique illustrated at the beginning of The Lord of the Rings, when the infamous ring was made. Students will learn to cut, carve and cast into the cuttle bone.
