The search for eco-friendly sustainable casting materials that are adaptable for cast practices has continued to gained attention. Most contemporary casting materials are not recyclable and pose environmental challenges. This paper is mostly a review paper that critically compares contemporary casting materials such as Plaster of Paris, Silicone, Resins to Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) with a view of drawing attention to the potentials of EVA as a recyclable and eco-friendly casting material as a way of suggesting a thermoplas- -tic alternative to thermosetting casting materials. A practical approach was also adopted to showcase the mold casting potential of EVA and also demonstrate the use of EVA in craft production. The overall observations were recorded based on ease of handle, studio reflection, reusability cycle, and surface fidelity. The findings indicates EVA’s potential as a recyclable casting material suited for casting and artwork production in Educational settings. The paper also explores the interdisciplinary discourse between Material Science, Ceramic practice and art education.
