Master Traditional Bronze Hollow Casting in a Hands-On Alpine Course

Experience a hands-on weeklong bronze casting workshop near the Austrian Alps and master the traditional lost-wax casting process. Ideal for beginners and advanced artists, this immersive course teaches you to sculpt delicate filigree designs in wax, mold your model, and cast it in bronze using professional techniques.

From Monday to Tuesday, work closely with expert instructors to shape your wax model. The professional art caster then handles the molding, burnout, and bronze pouring process. While your piece cools, attend a detailed theory session covering every step of hollow bronze casting, including finishing methods.

By the end of this bronze sculpture course, you’ll take home a custom, hand-finished bronze artwork crafted by you, gaining valuable skills in traditional metal casting techniques.
