common among the Egbas, Egbados,

land which assures the people that the dead are among the living.
The festival is set off when the Chief priest of the Egugun
Masquerades invokes the spirit of the ancestors, this act is

worshippers dance, drum and are now possessed by the ancestral
spirit. The Egungun masquerade is dressed in colourful regalia

The “fattening house” is an educational boudoir
where an Mbopo initiate learns the secrets of
womanhood. It is the conceptual platform on
which details about sex, motherhood and child-
rearing are transferred from elder village women to
the Mbopo. Furthermore, she learns the local
songs, dances, and artistic practices like wall
painting, pyrography on cloths, calabash vessels and
the creation of ceremonial fans.
SANGO FESTIVAL WEEK 3
People of all genders weave their hair and dress in red, wearing
white and red beads around their necks and wrists. The festival
encompasses different rites and involves chanting, storytelling,
drumming and dancing. Children acquire the related knowledge
and skills by observing and imitating elders and attending
Saturday worship at the Sango Temples. Sango magical crafts
and rites, however, are transmitted through apprenticeships.
The festival unites the Oyo community, which views the
practice as an expression of shared identity and social cohesion
and as a means of reconnecting with their ancestor, Sango.
SANGO WEEK 3
WEEK 3
It is an ancestral worship that takes place in Sango, Nigeria,
near the ancient Koso Temple. The ten-day festival is
strongly connected to the social, religious, cultural and
political institutions of the Oyo State. It is held in
commemoration of Tella-Oko, the third alaafin (king) of
the Oyo Empire. He is believed to be the incarnation of

lightning. When the festival commences on the Yoruba
New Year’s Eve in August, Sango devotees and followers
share and eat roasted new yam and palm oil.

Pottery means clay that is chemically
altered and permanently hardened
by firing in a kiln. Pottery is also
known as ceramics (Greek keramos,
“potter's clay”).
The nature and type of pottery is
determined by the composition of
the clay and the way it is prepared;
the temperature at which it is fired,
and the glazes used.

CIRE-PERDUE (LOST WAX CASTING) WEEK 6
Cire Perdue (French: “lost wax’’), process of wax
casting used in making metal sculpture.
Lost wax casting also known as investment
casting or precision casting is a metal-working
technique used to create intricate and detailed
objects, such as jewelry, sculptures and industrial
components.
The process involves creating a model of the
desired object in wax, which is then coated in a
refractory material (such as plaster or ceramic) to
form a mold. Once the mold hardens, the wax is
melted and drained away (lost), leaving a cavity.
CIRE-PERDUE (LOST WAX CASTING) WEEK 6
Molten metal is then poured into the
mold to take the shape of the original
wax model. After the metal cools and
solidifies, the mold is broken away,
revealing the final metal object.
This method is valued for its ability to
produce complex and precise designs,
making it ideal for applications
requiring high accuracy.
Materials and Tools for Lost Wax Casting WEEK 6
Materials:
1. Wax: This is used to create the model of the final object. The wax
melts away during casting, leaving a mold.
2. Investment Material (Plaster or Ceramic): This is used to encase
the wax model, forming a mold that can withstand the molten metal.
3. Molten Metal (e.g., Bronze, Silver, or Gold): The final product is
made from this material, poured into the mold.
4. Sprues and Gates: Wax channels that allow molten metal to flow
into the mold while air escapes.
5. Burnout Kiln: Used to melt the wax out of the mold, leaving a
hollow space for casting.
Materials and Tools for Lost Wax Casting WEEK 8
Tools:
1. Wax Carving Tools: Specialized tools used to sculpt the wax model with
precision.
2. Crucible: A container for melting and holding the metal before pouring it
into the mold.
3. Furnace: Used to melt the metal at high temperatures.
4. Tongs and Safety Gear: Essential for handling hot materials and
ensuring safety during the casting process.
5. Centrifugal or Vacuum Casting Machine: These helps ensure the
molten metal fills the mold completely by applying pressure.
The lost wax casting process enables the creation of complex designs with
high precision, making it widely used in jewelry making, sculpture, and
industrial applications.
Steps in producing Cire-Perdue Works: WEEK 8
1. A model is coated with wax.
2. The solidified wax is encased in a two-layer mould of plaster or clay.
3. It is then melted or otherwise removed from the mould.
4. Molten metal is poured into the space where the wax had been. It is
allowed to cool.
5. The mould is broken to free the metal object.
6. This ancient method is used to produce sculpture, jewelry, and
utilitarian products such as dentures. This method is used to produce
the bronze artworks in Nigeria
