As professional bronze Outdoor Sculptures fabricators who cast our work in bronze. and deliver you your sculpture with the highest quality, we will share with clients about bronze fabrication.
Our artisans have great senses of artistry, who works diligently with the clients to ensure the commission goes smoothly. After the initial consult, they will begin sculpting basic mold. Once the first step is finished, the piece is shown to our client for approval. That is when the mold making process begins. By using rubber and plaster a mold is made to be sent to the foundry for the bronze process.
The process of Bronze Sculptures (lost wax) is centered around the lost wax method, starts by filling the rubber molds made with molten wax. The wax in this liquid state will capture even the finest details so the artistry is not lost in the metal casting phase. Once cooled, the wax is chased – what is defined as cleaning up the excess wax or flashing from the mold. Then create vents for the bronze to travel through. This is a mandatory step to ensure the finest points, like the fingertips of a figure, do not form air pockets that prevent the mold from being filled. After all these elements are prepared, then comes the shell to coat the wax. This shell is formed by a variety of materials, but is mostly clay and sand. The newly cast wax is dipped several times in the slurry to form the thin shell that is used in the final stage of the bronze casting process.
The landscape sculpture lost wax method requires the wax to be melted out of the shell completely, so the wax is lost with only the shell left, the casting may begin! At 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, the molten metal is poured into each of the empty shells to then cool. The artists clean up the sections and weld all the pieces back together forming original sculpture. This part of the process is where the majority of the cost comes from.
