copper sculpture is a major form of sculptures suitable for gardens, squares and other decorations spaces. It can be used for people visual appreciation with high ornamental value, which is enjoyed by the majority of people, and decorate the surrounding environment to create a certain visual space. Urban copper sculpture works alleviate the crowding vibe caused by buildings, and sometimes increase balance in the empty field. Now let's share the process of fabricating the copper sculpture.
The production generally goes through copper smelting, forging, carving, gold plating, polishing, painting and other important processes. The process is sophisticated and complex, with exquisite process.
Step 1: sample selection and design to determine what kind of copper sculpture the customer prefers to complete the preliminary design and frame sketch.
Step 2. Molding: Once the styling of the copper sculpture is determined, our experienced manufacturer will make a 1:1 clay sculpture according to the pattern. As the key part of making the copper sculpture, the appropriate mini statue directly related to the success or failure of the copper sculpture, and conducive for customers to visualize the finished products and finalize the design.
Step 3: Mold making. There are two kinds of molds making, gypsum for simple sculptures, and silicone gel for complicated ones.
Step 4: filling melted paraffin wax into the gypsum mold or silicone mold, until wax cooling into the solid.
Step 5: shell making: small or complex works by precision production,to use delicate quartz sand wrapped up wax layer by layer, and burn the wax clean using high temperature.
Step 6: Casting: high temperature copper water into the shell or sand box.
Step 7: grinding to clear the rough parts.
Step 8: Welding: Put the polished copper carvings together welded into a complete whole. After this step, we can basically see what our copper carving looks like.
Step 9: surface color, The copper carving surface color is decided according to occasions. The ancient ones are bronze, moderns are various, brass, golden or colorful.
Step 10: sealing for keeping a long time.
