From Wax Sculpting to Bronze Casting
UPCOMING DEMO
by Chuck Kidwell
While hiking in the Smokey Mountains as a young man, Chuck visited a gallery of fine woodcarving in Gatlinburg,TN.
He was so stirred that he went out and bought 3 carving tools, cut down a tree and taught himself
to carve!
Through his work at Inferno Art Foundry http://infernoartfoundry.com in Union City he has learned to scuplt in clay and wax and create bronze castings through the traditional "Lost Wax" process. Chuck has
created well researched historical figures.
He has also enjoyed creating a delightful animated series of the backyard adventures of Traveler and Wee... mouse and his friend.
Beautiful portraits in wood, bronze or cold cast available:
Come and see and hear a master craftsman!
