From Barye to Degas, Rodin to Remington, Picasso to Giacometti,bronze has played a major role in the figurative art world, and the process involved has defined & influenced the technical standards of sculpture today. Making bronze sculptures is a highly skilled, multifaceted, potentially dangerous art form that employs a vast array of technical knowledge & materials no sculptor should be without. This tutorial will concentrate on the techniques of the lost wax process and provide the sculptor with an in depth knowledge of this old world process. The lost wax process at its core is a science involving mold making, casting, melting, cutting, drilling, grinding, welding, oxidization, torching,polishing, & not to mention significant amounts of heat.
