Khan Academy: Casting Bronze: Direct Lost Wax Casting

Curated by ACT

Adriaen de Vries, a 17th century Dutch sculptor, often used "direct lost-wax casting." Because the wax is "lost," each bronze cast is unique. This video [8:38] explains the process. If the casting fails, the sculptor begins again. Created by Getty Museum.
