How a bronze sculpture is made?
A bronze is typically made by a process known as lost wax casting. This process begins with the artist sculpting a model of the sculpture out of wax. This wax model is then coated with a ceramic material and heated until the wax melts away. Molten bronze is then poured into the ceramic mold where it takes the shape of the wax model. The bronze sculpture is then cooled and removed from the ceramic mold. Finally, the sculpture is polished and finished to give it a unique and beautiful patina.
