Sunday: From Wax Modeling to Bronze Sculpture [Adult]

A rare opportunity to create your own bronze sculpture! Spend the first three sessions with Katie Truk modeling your small-scale sculpture in wax at the WWAC studio. After a visit by sculptor Bruce Lindsay, he will take them to his Trenton-based studio, Integral Sculpture Works, to be dipped in ceramic shell and burned out in the lost-wax method of casting. Then, for the next class*, join Bruce at Integral Sculpture Works to observe the bronze pour of your sculpture! Finally, spend the last class back at WWAC finishing your work using hand tools and cold patina. Safety gear, hand tools, and materials included.

About the Teaching Artists

In her studio the medium of choice is pantyhose. She combines the translucent and sensual nature of pantyhose and the rigidity of wire to create sculptures of complex depth and personality.
