CeroplastIcsInternational Congress on Wax Modelling
In the last few decades many contemporary artists have started to use wax as a principal material in their work. A number of artists have rediscovered the huge potential of wax as an artistic medium, thanks to its versatility, flexibility and above all to its amazing mimetic capacity, far better than any other material.
​
Ceroplastics is no longer an art of the past, but reappears in contemporary art as a vital extension of past techniques. With its incredible metamorphic characteristics wax moves through different domains of artistic creation, to be rediscovered in this century as a material of modernity.
​
During the congress there will be some wax modelling demonstrations, a wax modelling workshop and an exhibition by some of the country's foremost artists using wax as a artistic medium.
