How To Make A Bronze Bust

In Four Easy Steps

Artist, Steve Pi Clay Sculpture Wax Rendering
Step 1.
Take a large chunk of clay and mold it into the appropriate shape. In this case, it should be a Zappa-shaped chunk when it's finished
Step 2.
Make sure it looks good from every angle. The profile is especially important.
Step 3.
Make a plaster mold from the clay format and produce a wax casting. No, we're not making a candle.
Finished Bronze
Step 4.
Finally, Cast it in Bronze and have a professional photographer take a flattering picture of it. Unveil it at a swank type of affair and let others bask in its glory. Mount it on a half ton block of Granite and drag it around to gigs. That's all there is to it!
