  1. #MeetTheArtist Day5. Wax & Clay - soft modelling. Wax was the first medium I used professionally, modelling medical prosthetics. I now more often use a soft filled wax, that softens in the hand but is quite firm at room temp. This little #wren, part of a 6” sq. low relief was modelled in 2020. Due to its impermanence any wax model has to be then moulded (in this case in silicon rubber) & then cast into the final permanent medium (in this case a resin bronze).
