Exploring our connection to ancient processes.
The ancient process of lost wax bronze casting has been used for centuries. The Romans and Egyptians were using it to produce exquisite casts. Now, using modern ceramic shell techniques with lost wax, or older Ludo investment casting, you can learn how to make your artworks archival. They will last for thousands of years.
Your teaching will be one to one, in very small class sizes under 5 people, all conducted personally by Neil himself.
