"From Clay to Bronze demystifies the complex art of creating figure sculptures in bronze, going beyond theory straight to hands-on practice. Starting with such basic information as how to choose the right type of clay, author Tuck Langland provides step-by-step guidelines for beginning a figure or portrait study, building an armature, modeling the clay sculpture, and enlarging it to any size. You will then learn how to create a mold to cast the sculpture in wax, pour the molten bronze, and finesse the final bronze sculpture." "Whether you are an experienced sculptor trying bronze for the first time, or someone entirely new to sculpture, From Clay to Bronze will serve as your one-stop reference."--Jacket.
