Bronze casting in Wangen

Experience bronze casting in Wangen near Dübendorf

Almost like the ancient Greeks, because the technique of the wax casting process has basically changed very little.

For some years now, art and above all craft enthusiasts have been able to carry out the exciting work steps themselves in Wangen and experience them directly using a model they have created themselves.

Alex Hagen, himself fascinated by the design possibilities, offers courses in a simple setting at favourable conditions. Whether a one-day event with experimental moulds or a course lasting several days with moulding, wax model and refractory negative for casting the bronze. Practically all the necessary steps and manual processes can be carried out by the participants themselves. With more or less support from the course instructor as required.

Individual projects are also possible, from the initial idea to the finished patinated bronze object. Be it a family project, new impulses for craft teachers or a company team day in small groups. Even the dusty tin cup in the cellar can be transformed into a modern sculpture. Depending on the complexity and size of the model, sand casting or wax melting techniques are used.

The current courses are advertised on www.aha-effekt.ch. It is also the address for exciting pictures, work processes and contact details.
