The technique of lost wax bronze casting was one of man's earliest technologies, and not much has changed over the past 6,000 years. Learn about the process of casting and conserving bronze sculptures by examining the bronze sculptures of Christian Petersen with Director Lynette Pohlman and get a lesson on bronze waxing too. Object Lessons is a monthly hands on experience and conversation about what we can learn by looking at art.
