Dali, very interested by this prospect, declares: “P\u00e2te de cristal is truly a Dalinian material. Hence I have used it to create masterpieces;I’m delighted by this new material, which has both the molecular elasticity of a snail and the consistency of the Perpignan train station”. Daum and Dali’s collaboration lasted over 20 years, and resulted in 28 artworks in p\u00e2te de cristal.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” gap=”35″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/5″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/5″][vc_single_image image=”786″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/5″][vc_single_image image=”783″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/5″][vc_single_image image=”787″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/5″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”Manufacturing processes” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1558441093195{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}” el_class=”title-style”][vc_column_text]\n

1. Molding the model<\/h3>\n

The craftsman uses a sketch to make a first clay model. Volume, details and expressions are worked to perfection. Once the sculpture is finished, a negative mold is made out of elastomer.<\/p>\n

2. Wax pouring<\/h3>\n

Hot wax is poured into the hollow mold after the original sculpture is removed.<\/p>\n

3. Wax reproduction<\/h3>\n

When the wax has cooled and set, the model is removed from its elastomer mold.<\/p>\n

4. A perfect reproduction thanks to the lost wax technique<\/h3>\n

The wax model is then chiseled and reworked by hand in order to obtain a perfect reproduction that is identical to the original. The wax model is immersed in refractory plaster. Under the effect of heat, the wax melts and drips from the plaster through previously made holes.<\/p>\n

5. Filling the mold with pieces of crystal<\/h3>\n

When the wax cleared, the hollow part of the plaster mold is carefully filled with pieces of crystal of different colors and sizes. These pieces of crystal are also called groisil. Everything is then put into ovens at 1400\u00b0 for many hours, depending from the size of the pieces.<\/p>\n

6. Unmolding and finishing the sculpture<\/h3>\n

After cooling, the plaster mold is delicately broken, revealing the p\u00e2te de cristal sculpture.<\/p>\n

7. Finishing and Signature<\/h3>\n

Quality control and color distribution takes place after finishing operations. The piece is then ready for the final touch: the Daum signature and the artist’s signature, depending on the case. The process is then repeated for each piece. Every work is unique.<\/p>\n
