This class offers students an introduction to this process, as well as a variety of other sculpting methods and materials. Each student has the opportunity to create an original small sculpture in wax and then we will have it cast in bronze at a professional foundry. Students will be working with hot wax and a variety of sculpting tools. Tuition includes 1.5 lbs of bronze, the casting and finish work, for one small bronze sculpture. There will be an additional fee for artworks weighing over 1.5 lbs. Families will be notified when artworks are ready for pick-up.
