Mould Making

Wax Work

Ceramic Shell

The Pour

Metal Finishing/Patination

A hollow wax positive of the original is cast from the mould by slushing hot wax into it.
The thickness of the wax corresponds to the eventual thickness of the bronze eg.10mm.
The wax positive is worked on to make good any imperfections
e.g. seamlines, air bubbles,etc....

A network of wax rods (sprues) and a funnel- like cup are fitted onto the positive.

These become the channels for the molten metal to travel to the job later in the process.
