Frilli Gallery The casting of a bronze sculpture Swirling Dolphins Fountain

This video shows the unique and traditional technique of the lost wax bronze casting method. This bronze is a 3.8 mts tall Swirling Dolphins Fountain cast for a newly developed residential area in Taipei, Taiwan.
It was cast over 8 months of work and many tons of liquid bronzes were utilized.

It's amazing how long it takes to create such a masterpiece! the time, effort, talent, patience and knowledge of these talented people is admirable. Thanks for creating such wonderful art that most of the time is taken for granted.

I wouldn't even begin to know how to make bronze iron casting friends.

Same steps for a crown or bridge construction in dentistry

Looks like something you'd find in the entrance hall of a large Chinese take out

same thing I thought. Every take-out has 20 feet high doors, right?

AT point 234... what is the material they are using. I have not seen this type of silicone putty? used to shape and press into the sculpture. What is that. I usually see a liquid brushed on, not pressed in by hand. Anyone know what this is? thx.

[@skateboardingjesus4006]

It's a two part kneadable silicone putty.
You can get it in many European art supply stores. The one they're using is very likely purchased in bulk, at a heavily discounted price for sculptors and artisans. There is a brand called "Siligum", which comes in small quantities and is expensive, but very good quality.
