>Today was the second class with Debra Ruzinsky, where we got down and dirty with plaster and wax.

You take your carved wax model, and cover it in plaster…

… then the wax is boiled or steamed out of the mold…

It’s called lost wax, but I still see it… everywhere!

And then it all goes into the kiln. Next week we see the results.
