How bronze sculptures are made The creation of a bronze sculpture is an elaborate but rewarding process. It may take up to weeks of delicate work before a sculpture is completed. Creating a final artwork requires the conceptual idea of the actual artist, which can be of any material such as wax or wood or a drawing which will form the basis for the sculpture. Combined with the skill of the foundry workers the sculpture takes form. Bronze sculptures are made using a process typically known as lost-wax technique or "cire perdue" in artistic terms. The lost wax process begins with the creation of a maquette (model), usually out of clay or wax by the artisan. |

From this maquette, the artisans create an exact negative by covering the clay and wax with various fine layers of silicon-rubber and plaster. This is one of the most complex parts in the bronze process, which if done well, is able capture every detail of the original creation.This mold is the basis to creating a wax cast: hot wax is brushed onto it several times, making sure it seeps into all the most minute spaces and coats the inside of the mold. Once the wax has cooled, we are left with a faithful hollow wax duplicate of the original. An expert artisan finishes the wax pattern by hand if needed, treating each wax casting as an original work of art.
