Bodyscape Sculpture studio specialises in bronze sculptures and custom body casting.
The studio also publishes a collection of art tutorials for artists, sculptors and hobbyist.
The Bronze Casting Manual is a complete tutorial taking the readers step by step through an easily achievable and affordable casting project.
The method described in this manual is called the thin ceramic shell, lost wax technique. This is the same method implemented by professional art foundries. We have simply scaled it down and adapted some aspects of the process to make it easy for anyone to complete successfully in a few days without any heavy equipment.


The manual will introduce you to the basics of wax working, "sprueing" a wax model, mixing and applying a ceramic slurry, making your own crucible and making an efficient yet affordable furnace, melting and pouring the metal and finally chasing the bronze before applying a simple patina.
