Pietà Sculpture Silicone Candle Mold

A seated, robed figure cradles a reclining figure across her lap in this Pietà-style sculpture. Folded drapery surrounds the pair and flows into a broad sculptural base, creating a contemplative form with detail around the back as well as the front. Use the mold for a candle-making project centered on this traditional composition.

Support the Figures During Release

Use wax designed for molded candles and follow its pouring and cooling instructions. Allow the casting to cool fully. Peel back the silicone gradually around the extended figure, limbs and drapery, supporting the base throughout release.

Test wick placement and burn behavior for the full candle formulation before burning or selling it. Use a stable, heat-resistant holder and keep a burning candle away from surrounding objects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a head bust or a complete sculpture group?

It forms the complete seated and reclining figures together with their robes and sculptural base, rather than an isolated head or bust.

Does the mold include detail on the back?

Yes. The rear of the seated figure has folded robe detail, continuing the sculptural form around the group.

Which areas need care when demolding this composition?

Support the base and gently release the mold around the reclining figure, limbs and robe folds. Avoid pulling on small projecting features before they are free.
