Sculptures

Bronze resin sculpture or resin sculpture, also known as cold cast bronze or bonded bronze, is actually made of epoxy resin with bronze powder mixed in. This is then poured into a mould, achieving the appearance of bronze. The sculpture will be a lighter weight and more brittle than bronze but is less expensive.

The technique used in the creation of bronze sculptures has changed very little for hundreds of years. The subject is sculpted in wax on a wire armature, before going to The Lost Foundry in Dorset for casting. Bronze is a robust and resistant material that fairs well outside. It has a wonderful weight and feels dense and cool to the touch. Using wax to create the initial mould allows for a high level of detail on the final sculpture. Certain nuances in colour can be produced through the use of patinas.
