Here is what you have to do.
3 easy steps:
(1) Using the 1/4 lb of wax supplied with this instructional booklet create a wax sculpture. The surface on the wax will
be identical in bronze. The sculpture must be 100% wax. No other materials allowed.
Suggestions:
Play with the wax and learn the unique characteristics of this material. If the wax is too stiff to manipulate place the
wax in warm water from the tap for a few minutes and this will soften it.
(2) Next, get a # 10 tin can (7" height x 6" diameter) and write your name, email address and phone # on it.
This tin can is needed to create your bronze sculpture.
Choose option 3a or 3b
Mail it:
(3a) Pack your wax sculpture in the #10 tin can and mail it to us at:
SPH-FUNCTIONS 3821 Cook St. Denver, CO 80205
Deliver it:
(3b) Deliver your wax sculpture in the #10 tin can to the same location you purchased Bronze Casting Workshop in a Bag or
to a location on the list below.
Your sculpture will be casted at one of the many SPH ARTFUNCTIONS bronze-casting demonstrations we conduct at various
locations. If you're interested in watching your wax sculpture being turned into bronze you can do so by coming to the bronze
pour demonstrations. Check our website, sph-artfunctions.org, under BCWB for bronze pours schedule and details.
Please note your wax sculpture is due two weeks before the bronze pour you wish to see. Every effort will be made to
cast work at the designated pour, but we can't guarantee your sculpture will be poured at that time and location.
