Demonstrating the need to maintain the teaching of this practice in the Fine Arts schools, reporting great benefits especially to students and recent graduates, giving them the possibility of making sculptures of considerable sizes, stable and durable at low cost, being able to tender contests on a budget affordable. As a professor within the Department of Sculpture and Artistic Training of the Faculty of Fine Arts of Madrid at UCM, I have been promoting and researching the practice of this technique for years with various research papers, seminars, courses and conferences.
