The casting process of the sculpture Empyrean by Eirik Arnesen is here chronicled, and it starts with applying silicone to capture the surface and details of the sculpture.

I teach sculpture at the Florence Academy of Art and on this channel I'll share with you every step of my process, discussing materials, tools and techniques. Eventually you'll find tutorials on how I go about sculpting everything from a portrait to a life-size figure.
