The Lost-Wax Casting Method

The Lost-Wax Casting Method is a traditional process used to create detailed metal objects. It begins with making a wax model of the desired piece. This wax model is then coated with a heat-resistant material to form a mold. When heated, the mold melts away, leaving a cavity in the shape of the original model. Molten metal is poured into this cavity and allowed to cool and harden. Once cooled, the mold is broken away, revealing the final metal sculpture or object. This technique enables precise reproductions and intricate designs in materials like bronze or gold.
