Casting Method/Creation Process:
These bronze figures are created using the ancient art of lost wax casting method.
Starting with a clay model, a mold is created that is then used to create a wax copy. Liquid heated wax is poured into the prepared mold. Once it has hardened, the wax can easily be released from the mold. Once the waxes are perfected, they are sent to a foundry where the waxes are added in their shell to the kiln. The wax is molten out and the negative is retained in the ceramic shell mold. Then the liquid bronze (2,250 degrees Farenheit) is poured into this second mold. After a slow cooling time the ceramic shell is destroyed and the raw bronze is sandblasted. The raw bronze is sandblasted again and carefully cleaned. Once the figures are cleaned, they are plated with sterling silver.
