This album is a Visual tutorial about the lost wax bronze casting process.
Inside this album you will see photos, which I have divided into stages, necessary towards final completion of this sculpture. Each photograph has a brief description of what is taking place in that photograph. Beginning with an original clay sculpture. Moving through the processes of making a waste mold, preparing the completed waste mold for casting, casting that waste mold, removing the waste mold from the casting, working on and preparing the original sculpture for casting, making a flexible rubber mold, making the inflexible mother molds over the flexible rubber mold, removing that from the original sculpture, then casting wax into that mold, removing the inflexible mother mold from the rubber mold, removing the flexible rubber mold from the wax, placing sprue's, rises, vents, and poring cup on the wax sculpture, creating the ceramic shell mold which covers both the inside and exterior of the wax pattern, preparing the completed ceramic shell mold for the lost wax bronze casting process. Then finally the finishing called the bronze castings and installation and its permanent home.
