Model a miniature version of a familiar object in wax. Adjust the size of your model; some models can be cast in sections.

Getting Started

There are several ways to start lost-wax for glass casting. By far one of the easiest ways is to use Type B modelling wax, which is as easy as Plasticine to manipulate. The step-by-step ‘little lost-wax’ project will guide you through using this wax to help you create a simple form to invest in a mould to cast glass in. It is much easier to manipulate the wax than it is to fix things once the model has been cast in glass. Spend time on this and get the shape right. Once you have had a go at this step-by-step, it is possible to scale up your model and create moulds using the hand-building technique, which uses fewer materials (this is covered in the next project).
