2026 Lost wax casting workshop

Workshop on making bronze objects whose shapes were created in beeswax.

The wax model is then shaped with clay, which forms a mould.

The photos are presented in five stages:

  • Preparation of the moulds
  • Dewaxing
  • Making a charcoal wood furnace
  • Heating the bronze and pouring the bronze
  • Cleaning the pieces and finishing work
