Wax injection
Once the mold has been selected it is injected with hot wax and examined by the artisan.
Wax polish
The artisan later manually adds and removes wax from the piece to achieve fidelity to the original design.
Wax tree
Prior to casting all wax pieces are placed on a wax tree.
Plaster covering
Each wax tree is introduced into a cylinder which is later cover in plaster, after it has built a solid mold it is heated causing the wax to melt and drain out of the cylinder support, thus the "lost-wax" name.
Casting
The melted Brass is poured-in to penetrate every part of the cavity and it is spun on a centrifuge in order to make sure the metal covers all space.
Plaster cleaning
After casting, the cooled metal piece is broken from the plaster mold and cleaned to be polished.
Vibrators polishing
The pieces are placed inside a polishing vibrator in a process of smoothing out their surface.
