Description -
I use a combination of lost foam and green sand casting for this piece. The foam form is buried in the sand and replaced with molten bronze during the pouring process. Each piece is hand finished over several weeks, either by hand polishing or surface patination, depending on the finish chosen by the client.
Generally, the type of metal is Silicon bronze, an alloy containing 96% copper, 3% Silicon and 1% Manganese (see above pictures). We can however cast in several other alloys and colours of metal.

There are four standard finishes; polished bronze, aged bronze patina, blackened bronze and white bronze. I am however happy to discuss other finishes and materials with you. Samples of the finishes and materials can also be provided. Just send a message with your thoughts and ideas in the form provided.

International Shipping -
We can provide international shipping. Price for this will be included in the price of the quotation / invoice.
Disclaimer -
All pieces are made to order. The piece pictured here is to show the design and finish, however your piece may differ slightly as the processes used don’t create perfect replicas. The casting process creates small imperfections and voids in the surface which will be seen on the finished piece. Each piece is then surface ground and hand finished, giving an organic, imperfect finish. If you would like more information please get in touch so we can discuss the process with you.
