Good morning, students. Hmm, have you ever heard about ‘Cire Perdue’ or ‘Lost Wax’? Well, let me axplain. ‘Cire Perdue’ which is the French words for ‘lost wax’ is a process of wax casting used in making metal sculptures.
When a model is coated with wax, the solidified wax is encased in a two-layer mold of plaster or clay. It is then melted or otherwise removed from the mold, and the metal is poured into the space where the wax had been. Oh, I almost forgot, after cooling, the mold is broken to free the metal object.
This ancient method is used to produce sculpture, jewelry, and utilitarian products, such as dentures. Do you understand? Not yet? Okay, how about going to the library to find more information about ‘Lost Wax’? See you and goodluck.
