| Bronze Casting | The Lost Wax Process |
| Bronze (an alloy of copper and tin) first appeared in the Near East toward the end of the fourth millennium B.C. There exists no definitive record of when the lost wax method of casting was invented. |
| The basic principle of the lost wax method of casting remains unchanged, although new techniques have been developed. The most significant development was the introduction of an intermediate mold from which multiple wax models are made. |
| Cast bronze is a permanent medium. Archaeologists have unearthed bronze artifacts buried thousands of years. Wally Shoop, a recognized expert in bronze casting, feels a strong sense of responsibility when crafting works of art which may survive dozens of generations. |
| Handmade in America |
| All of Shoop's American Bronze Casting pieces are handmade in America using the lost wax process of bronze casting. |
