Generally casting is used to reproduce delicate or intricate designs or for mass producing a design. Neither of these desired affects can be satisfied through either of these primitive techniques of casting. Sand and Cuttlefish casting are two techniques of primitive casting that are resource minimal, energy saving and pollution free. Bonus with these techniques is that they leave a unusual beautifully rough finish to your piece (particularly cuttlefish casting) therefore minimal cleaning up is required (further sustainable). They also add an element of surprise, as you never know exactly how the cast will turn out.
