How can organic and incinerable objects be directly transformed into metal? How can metal objects be transformed using the lost-wax casting technique?
This workshop offers an exploration of metal shaping processes through hands-on experimentation with two techniques: lost-wax casting and lost-object casting.
We will work with bronze, which we will pour on-site.
Each student will be invited to design and realize their own small-scale projects – in the size of a jewel – using the casting techniques presented.
The evaluation is based on participation in the five days of the workshop, on the projects completed during the week, and on the level of active engagement of the student. The evaluation criteria are engagement, curiosity, experimentation, and the quality of the results.
