The art of lost wax casting, practiced for over 4000
years, is an incredibly precise metal casting technique. Properly
executed, it ensures accurate, detailed reproduction of an original
sculpture. Historically used for many types of work from miniature to
colossal in size, the process allows for variations in finish and final
appearance. Artistic and labor intensive, projects may take weeks or
more leading to ultimate value in every creation.
