This class is an
introduction to the lost-wax bronze casting process. Students will research
coins of the world and design their own in oil-based clay. The clay coin
will then be subjected to the lost wax process which will culminate in the
pouring of 2100 degree molten bronze. The students will come away with two
coins of their own design. The instructor will focus on safety, design and
craftsmanship. The class will also take a field trip to the Norton Gallery
in Shreveport to see bronze sculpture. They will also be introduced to other
artists in art history and in the contemporary world.
Note:
This course may be
eligible for articulated college credit at Northwestern State University.

There is
an additional $20.00 lab fee for this course that must be included with the
final payment.
