"Art Talk" - Program #38 - The Lost Wax Method of Casting Bronze

Produced by the Griffis Art Center, February 14, 1994

Hosted by James Michael Tripp, this program of “Art Talk” features A step-b step tour of the Renaissance-Cavalier Foundry in Bridgeport, CT. A fascinating look at a method for casting bronze that hasn't changed in centuries. (44:20 minutes)

"Art Talk" takes you on location to meet the people whose paintings, sculpture, and other works are shown throughout Connecticut. Join our hosts for behind-the-scenes visits and conversations with visual artists and art educators as they offer you a rare glimpse into their ideas, inspiration, materials and methods. What makes one artist paint watercolor landscapes, and another cast bronze figures? Why are some drawn to abstract images, while others prefer realism? How do the works of artists from other countries differ, and what do they have in common? With its pleasingly informal style, “Art Talk" is where people are turning to learn what it's about.
