Bronze art and foundry created by the "cire perdue”
process.
Bronze art and sculptures are heirlooms you can be proud to display and enjoy every day. What gives this value beyond. That of a "souvenir" that ends up in a closet? There are many reasons including cost of materials (silicone for molds, toos, ovens, etc.) But mostly because there are very few people trained in the tedious process practiced by the ancient Greeks and Romans. Many time consuming, difficult steps are involved. In a world of hi-tech mass production, bronze-casting remains essentially unchanged. Each and Every bronze-casting is in reality an "original" and the following explains why. These are the basic steps involved in creating a bronze-sculpture using the classic "cire perdue" (lost wax) process: arting's original model, silicone mold of the model, create lost wax mold, bronze-casting, clean mold from casting, grind rasp and file bronze, assemble pieces by welding, file and finish assembled piece, polishing application of patina, etc.

All bronze art pieces are cast from a wax model regardless of the original material the model was sculpted in. A silicone mold is made from the artist's finished piece, and a hollow wax cast is drawn from this mold. The wax is then repaired, re-worked and finished to the sculptor's specifications. Prior to creating a ceramic, vents are attached within the wax model. These vents are necessary in difficult areas where gas may accumulate such as hips, limbs, and neck. The vents allow the gas to escape when the molten-bronze is poured and will prevent air pockets from forming and exploding the ceramic shell. The ceramic shell is one of the few materials the can withstand the heat of the molten. Cold cast of "bonded-bronze" is the name given to a less costly process. The mold is filled with a plastic resin mixed with bronze-porders. The piece is then patinated to the desired finish. It may create the effect of bronzeware but is far less expensive, because it is not the real thing. Meanwhile, A bronzeware created by the "cire perdue" process is one of our few remaining opportunities to purchase a non-mass produced piece of art.
