anger and agony are better than misery
The process is Lost Wax,so the original is sculpted entirely in wax then cast in plaster with "sprues" and "vents". Molten bronze is poured in the mold and all the wax is burned off as a gas and allows the bronze to occupy all the space. After cooling the plaster is broken away and the solidified bronze sculpture remains.
I freehanded the hair by melting and dripping wax in a semi-controllable way.
She now sits semi-submerged in a fountain and I've added lotus flowers fabricated in bronze and stainless.

Don't let that stop you.
Go out and get some hard carving wax (dark brown) and some soft(red) and keep sculpting. Find a foundry somewhere nearby and bug em till they do your stuff. Try trading work for them casting your pieces. that way you'll learn as you go ,and they'll get another hand...
With all the colleges near you ,isn't there another place to take classes ?
