From wax to bronze: 2 day wax workshop with Michael Vaynman 2024EXPIRED
published: 05 Oct 2024, 3 min read, 'EVENT EXPIRED'
when: 12 - 13 October 2024 | venue: 1A Clara St, Erskineville NSW 2043, Australia | cost: General $$480 | address: 1A Clara St, Erskineville NSW 2043, AustraliaWax is a wonderful medium and has many unique properties that make it ideal for sculpting. Wax can be used as a liquid, as a paste, warm (like plasticine), or cold (carvable). During this workshop students will be shown various techniques to utilize these variable states of the medium. Students will be shown how to construct a wax armature, explore modelling techniques and the use of tools for smoothing and texturing. Students will have the opportunity (at an additional cost*) to have their finished wax sculptures cast in bronze by Michael, using the lost wax casting process.
*Bronze casting will be provided at a significant discount to students who wish to cast their work. However prices will need to be looked at on a case by case basis after the workshop concludes as it is impossible to predict the size and complexity of individual artworks before they are made.
About Michael:
Michael has worked as a professional artist since 2001, specialising in figurative and abstract bronze and stainless steel sculpture. The notion of beauty is a strong component of Michael’s contemporary art practice and each artwork strives to develop the aesthetic perfection of line and form within the context of the human experience. Over the years Michael has produced several private and public commissions and his sculptures can be seen in the film Mao’s Last Dancer (2008)
Currently Michael is on a path to explore the notion of the Sublime through the lens of sculpture with works like ‘Hope’, ‘Creation of Man’, and ‘Up, Up & Away’
*Early bird discount ends midnight 29 September.
