This course offers students of all levels the opportunity to explore the process of creating a work of art in sculpture, and progress through the process with a bronze casting as the finished product. The class will work with a live model for 4 weeks, to create a refined miniature sculpture, learn the mold making process, and casting of a wax or (plaster) copy. The mold will then be ready to send to a foundry for bronze casting. All students will be provided a plaster casting of their finished sculpture by the end of class. Student will then have the option to send their mold to a foundry to be cast in bronze*.
