As promised, we're starting a new series of educational posts for everyone interested in the process of artistic creation. If you have ever wondered how it works from the other side, you've just come to the right place!
Today, we'll introduce you to the method commonly used by sculptors and jewellers, called lost-wax casting.
But if it's so common, what makes it so special and fascinating then?
Well, it's one of the most precise methods that allows a sculptor to get the exact cast of the basic form. What's even more interesting is that it is precise enough to maintain the sculptor's fingerprints! So when you see a sculpture, look carefully, maybe you'll se the unique mark of artist on it.
You don't have to go far – you can see the pictures directly from Marian Gołogórski's workshop.
