Xander Wildeisen Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Is it cast in wax, or carved in wax. To be used in a casting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenHupp20 Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 Not sure,but I suspect it was modeled in clay then this was was cast in wax. There is a note from the artist"one wax of Grey Wolf". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylormade Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 It's a lost wax piece for casting - probably bronze for this one. They encase the wax model in hard casting plaster with a vent hole. The plaster is then heated to melt the wax out, leaving a perfect negative void of the sculpture. The bronze is then poured in and once it's hardened, the plaster is broken off and you have your art piece - a bronze replica of the wax sculpture.
