As the project moves to the final phase, the full-size clay is used to create more than 30 silicone moulds which will be used to produce the required wax images, these will be used to form the final ceramic moulds into which the molten bronze will be poured.

Once the moulds are signed off the months of painstaking work on the clay are complete and its work is done!

We now move to the loss wax process itself, more photographs coming soon...

We need YOUR help to finish the project!
