Caitlin Hazell (b.1995)  

An experiment involing the ancient lost wax casting process of metal making, hand carving or moulding wax designs and casting in metal.

For a period at the end of 2020 in isolated rural Shropshire, using bizarre youtube led methods (and a bit of a dangerous way to microwave metal) I self taught myself the historical methods to produce work, from wax carving-spruing-investing-meltout-burnout-metal melting to the final cast pour. 

Now living in London, and understanding the process, the pieces are carved or moulded by hand, externally cast, then sent back to me where I do the final grinding, polishing and finishing. 

Still learning, these first pieces may not be perfect but are a start in transforming ideas into something solid- exploring history, pop culture, the unusual and the imagined, into metalwork.
