    Lost Wax #Bronzing at American Fine Arts Foundry
    FULL STORY here: bit.ly/LostWax...
    SWSCA instructor and fine art sculptor, Davis Fandino, took us inside American Fine Arts Foundry for a guided tour of the lost wax bronzing process.
    Along with AFAF's owner, Brett Barney, Fandino explained, step-by-step, how the artisans of AFA Foundry transformed Fandino's clay sculpture of Stan Winston from impermanent work of art to a bronze bust that will last for generations.

    TheShadowed~ The Stan Winston School runs it. There are four of us who upload from the same very integrated pot. There are about 5 of us answering your feedback on a regular basis: Matt, Erich Maggie, David and John. We run the school & produce all the content - including the new tutorials and the groomed archival pieces. We're adding to the list, so please make requests! Most of all, we're committed to bringing you the stories of Stan's movies and the techniques he used to make monsters. -John

    4:30 Not exactly the same. With chasing the bare minimum is removing the seem but really "chasing" is re-carving or engraving all the fine lines and details that were flattened out or perhaps weren't even there in the original sculpture. Chasing and Repoussé is the technique used on the Statue of Liberty. Repoussé is the hammering of volume usually from the back and Chasing is hammering, usually with a flat chisel like tool to create fine lines and details, usually done on the front side of the object. On wax you could simply carve away any lines and details you want to add before creating the final mold for the Bronze. Even the final Bronze mold will need to be chased to be a perfectly finished and flawless piece.

    Biggles~ I'm actually not SURE. It's going to depend on the work you need. I think if you bring them the silicone mold and let them do the wax, the wax chasing (something many artist opt to do on their own), and the rest... it's hundreds of dollars... I don't think a thousand. I REALLY don't know. But you can call The American Fine Arts Foundry in Burbank California and talk to ANGEL and he can price anything. Good luck and let us know what happens! -John

    does the bronze end up hollow or solid. may be a stupid question lol i think its solid.

    • @jaredgrey39
      @jaredgrey39 3 роки тому

      Chris silliker it's a good question, I guess for big sculptures a hollow block could be inserted while pouring the bronze in the mold, to make it lighter.

    • @jakeasinjake3347

      They said it’s hollow. It’s 3/16” thick

    A man of his time, Leonardo would use clay, mold and bronze.

  • @martintimothy1915
    @martintimothy1915 4 роки тому

    It seems to me the decision to cut a hole in the hollow wax model's head and then weld a patch over the finished bronze is highly counter productive .. everywhere else they have the hole in the base of the sculpture.

    Brett knows his stuff. But OY the sculpture! Some rules broken. Never, EVER sculpt teeth. They always look bad. Never EVER do generic hair, it looks like a wig. Never EVER do a single vein on the temple, it looks like Frankenstein. So half realism and half casual observance is NEVER good in sculpting. It is so important to take time in sculpting, take photos of it as you go to keep the realism. Often times sculptors COVER up lacks of realism by using textures, like palette knife texture or impressionistic textures. It hides flaws and implies artsy technique. But great sculptures have great realism. Interpretive sculptures emote what an artist feels about his own work. Big dif.

      Good points I did not know of. Thanks for taking the time.
      Probably key points more for bronzing since teeth, hair and skin receive coloring texture and opaqueness in SFX but not in bronze. Your points still definitely hold up and I will keep those tips.

    I'm not so keen on referring to "the artist" as solely male. It's an alright look at the process though.

      There's much bigger fish to fry in the land of sexism. It's just awkward that English doesn't have a gender neutral word. "He or she" is a mouthful, and "they" is plural.

      In speaking Chinese, he, she and it sound the same which avoids this issue. In writing, it is the same situation as in English.

    • @ms.christian7792
      @ms.christian7792 5 років тому +1

      It's not MALE, it's how literature refers to a non sex I.D. , it's the way literature does it. Instead of IT or she. But if you need to feel sexually satisfied then read maritime literature, ships are always a she!

      @mrburns366 Рік тому

      Words like "mankind" are understood as gender neutral to normal people. It's only an issue for pedantic leftist types.
