Features Overview

 
 
clay work - Copy.jpg

First, I make an original sculpture using an oil-based clay which I can re-use.

I make a flexible mold around the sculpture and pour a plaster “mother” mold around that for support. After removing the clay I pour melted wax into the cavity and allow it to harden.

Then I remove the wax copy and clean and sign it, and prepare it for “spruing”. Wax sprues and vents will allow bronze to fill the final mold and let gasses escape.
