The making

The waxes were readied, awaiting for the sprues and pour cup to be attached

once sprues attached they are dipped in a slurry and very fine sand is added on to capture the detail, then a further 2 coarser layers are added to build up a mold so it can be handled, dried, and poured into.

Once the wax has been melted out and the mold dried,they are buried in sand, pour cups up, ready to be poured

the bronze is heated to 1150 degrees,then poured.

Cooling before the ceramic mold is broken away
