Answer by  patti (29325)

You cast silver in a mold. You must create a mold by one of a few methods, then melt the sheets of purchased silver so that it is liquid. You pour the liquid into the mold and wait for it to set before releasing it. There's a lot of info with videos on the Internet regarding this subject.

The most common method is the "lost wax" casting, so called because the wax melts away as the casting process proceeds. Be aware you need specialized equipment, like a kiln.
