Experience the magic of lost wax casting! This process is used to create beautiful volumetric forms; anything from signet rings to elaborate miniature sculpture. First, students will explore how to make a wax model using a variety of waxes, tools, and techniques. Then, they will be guided through the steps to create a mold of the wax model and will then experience the exciting process of melting metal and pouring it into the mold… and voila! What was wax is now metal!
