lost-wax method

Isaac Kremer/ November 23, 2025/ / 0 comments

A technique of casting a metal sculpture in which a model of the sculpture is first made from wax. The model is used to make a mold and the wax is melted out, leaving the mold ready for casting the sculpture. There are two variations on this technique: direct lost-wax casting and indirect lost-wax casting. (French: cire-perdue). (Terry, 2022)
