Ancient lost wax casting

[@rpdfangon]

Hello, would you be willing to describe this process in more detail to an interested young sculptor? I love the authenticity and simplicity of this process, and I would like to attempt it myself.

Great video only just came across this I'm currently working on similar stuff what clay additives did you use and how long did the wax take to burnout completely

[@didiernyckelharpa]

You can use actually any clay you want there should be the right proportion between clais and sand. The bee wax melts depending of the dimension of the sculpture a lot of the wax takes more time to start to melt. Good luck

I'm currently playing around with beeswax and some grogged terracotta clay iv added dry horse dung sand and some old dry clay and smashed it all together

[@celticraven3384]

The most worrying thing is I don't want the mold to explode during the casting

Where did you get this refractory clay?

[@rafaelparra1260]

awesome, the whole preparation, well done

[@leonidasmiglioriniplaster]

You use the amadou in the foundry.
