Lost Wax #Bronzing at American Fine Arts Foundry
FULL STORY here: bit.ly/LostWaxFcYT
SWSCA instructor and fine art sculptor, Davis Fandino, took us inside American Fine Arts Foundry for a guided tour of the lost wax bronzing process.
Along with AFAF's owner, Brett Barney, Fandino explained, step-by-step, how the artisans of AFA Foundry transformed Fandino's clay sculpture of Stan Winston from impermanent work of art to a bronze bust that will last for generations.

VERY, very cool process! Fine work on that bust!
this is really cool because the two things I really enjoy are sculpting and metalworking :D I never knew this was how it was done!
JUST LIKE IN THE EFFECTS WORLD!
Always glad to be of service. I'm still learning, but always willing to help with what I DO know.
...and Thank YOU for such incredible videos with so much information. They are definitely helping me on my way to fulfilling my dream of becoming one of you.
Glenn answered FOR me Biggles! Thanks Glenn. That's helpful info. - John
Great video, Love seeing stuff on bronze. I'd like to get into it one day.
I am so pleased with the information of this video.
I'm only here because my Art appreciation Professor said there will be one question on our quiz from this video. One question. ONE.
Great informative video!!
so cool!
Awesome video. Thank you👍🏻
Te saludo desde Colombia 🇨🇴un abrazo 🤗 🏆
Just seeing this now, but I used to see that place all the time when I had the misfortune to work across the street from it.
TheShadowed~ The Stan Winston School runs it. There are four of us who upload from the same very integrated pot. There are about 5 of us answering your feedback on a regular basis: Matt, Erich Maggie, David and John. We run the school & produce all the content - including the new tutorials and the groomed archival pieces. We're adding to the list, so please make requests! Most of all, we're committed to bringing you the stories of Stan's movies and the techniques he used to make monsters. -John
Any pathologists viewing this? Skip ahead to 4:34 and you'll surely appreciate the process!
all that i love...
I'm thinking of getting one of my sculpts bronzed its about a 5inch high portrait bust,how much did the process cost on average per bust,any info would be helpful thanks.
Biggles~ I'm actually not SURE. It's going to depend on the work you need. I think if you bring them the silicone mold and let them do the wax, the wax chasing (something many artist opt to do on their own), and the rest... it's hundreds of dollars... I don't think a thousand. I REALLY don't know. But you can call The American Fine Arts Foundry in Burbank California and talk to ANGEL and he can price anything. Good luck and let us know what happens! -John
Which feul you used to melt metal and how?
how to make ceramic slurry?
Couldn't read the sign. What does it say please.
I know the video is a bit old. I am interested in what material is being used in 2017 to cover the wax at 3:45 ?
Thats silicón
it is a colloid of silica
mixed with water to the correct thixotropic consistency,
"ceramic shell casting"
I'm sure that stock image meme guy from Hungary would be ecstatic if he knew a bronze in his image was cast over yonder!
4:30 Not exactly the same. With chasing the bare minimum is removing the seem but really "chasing" is re-carving or engraving all the fine lines and details that were flattened out or perhaps weren't even there in the original sculpture. Chasing and Repoussé is the technique used on the Statue of Liberty. Repoussé is the hammering of volume usually from the back and Chasing is hammering, usually with a flat chisel like tool to create fine lines and details, usually done on the front side of the object. On wax you could simply carve away any lines and details you want to add before creating the final mold for the Bronze. Even the final Bronze mold will need to be chased to be a perfectly finished and flawless piece.
I wonder what the total cost was after.
Once again. A "Wow" video. I've gotta ask though, who actually runs this account? Who uploads these videos and who answers the comments?
Hello. What are those fire and heat resistant clothes called @6:55
Where can i find them and how much would they cost?
does the bronze end up hollow or solid. may be a stupid question lol i think its solid.
Chris silliker it's a good question, I guess for big sculptures a hollow block could be inserted while pouring the bronze in the mold, to make it lighter.
They said it’s hollow. It’s 3/16” thick
A man of his time, Leonardo would use clay, mold and bronze.
It seems to me the decision to cut a hole in the hollow wax model's head and then weld a patch over the finished bronze is highly counter productive .. everywhere else they have the hole in the base of the sculpture.
Maybe it was an imperfection in that one pour?
8:38, who Wants orange juice!
typical hipster convo at any bar in downtown brooklyn
Salam solver
Brett knows his stuff. But OY the sculpture! Some rules broken. Never, EVER sculpt teeth. They always look bad. Never EVER do generic hair, it looks like a wig. Never EVER do a single vein on the temple, it looks like Frankenstein. So half realism and half casual observance is NEVER good in sculpting. It is so important to take time in sculpting, take photos of it as you go to keep the realism. Often times sculptors COVER up lacks of realism by using textures, like palette knife texture or impressionistic textures. It hides flaws and implies artsy technique. But great sculptures have great realism. Interpretive sculptures emote what an artist feels about his own work. Big dif.
Good points I did not know of. Thanks for taking the time.
Probably key points more for bronzing since teeth, hair and skin receive coloring texture and opaqueness in SFX but not in bronze. Your points still definitely hold up and I will keep those tips.
This could've been better executed with one guy describing the process.
I'm not so keen on referring to "the artist" as solely male. It's an alright look at the process though.
There's much bigger fish to fry in the land of sexism. It's just awkward that English doesn't have a gender neutral word. "He or she" is a mouthful, and "they" is plural.
In speaking Chinese, he, she and it sound the same which avoids this issue. In writing, it is the same situation as in English.
It's not MALE, it's how literature refers to a non sex I.D. , it's the way literature does it. Instead of IT or she. But if you need to feel sexually satisfied then read maritime literature, ships are always a she!
Ms. Christian hey are you “guys” talking about a gender situation. Lol
Words like "mankind" are understood as gender neutral to normal people. It's only an issue for pedantic leftist types.
