Sculpture casting is a process in which a liquid material (bronze, copper, glass, aluminum, iron, etc.) is usually poured into a mold, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and then allowed to solidify. The solid casting is then ejected or broken out to complete the process, although a final stage of “cold work” may follow on the finished cast. Casting may also be used to form hot liquid metals or various materials that set after mixing with additional components (such as epoxies, concrete, plaster and clay). Casting is most often used for making complex shapes that would be otherwise difficult or uneconomical to make by other methods, and also to create works that appear as a single piece, rather than constructed. The oldest surviving casting is a copper Mesopotamian frog from 3200 BC. Newer innovations in art and materials have led to offshoot techniques that include lost-wax casting, plaster mold casting, and sand casting.
