Materials & making

Cast bronze

Bronze holds detail that few materials can. Cast from the artist's original, each edition carries the same surface, weight and gravity, a physical record of the hand that made it, hardened into an alloy that will outlast everyone who touches it.

  1. 01

    Mould and wax

    The artist's original is captured in a flexible mould, from which a hollow wax replica is taken and refined by hand until every surface matches the source.

  2. 02

    Lost-wax casting

    The wax is encased in a ceramic shell and fired; the wax runs out and molten bronze is poured into the void it leaves, taking on the exact form of the original.

  3. 03

    Chasing and assembly

    The rough cast is released from its shell, sprues removed, and seams chased away by hand so the metal reads as a single continuous surface.

  4. 04

    Patina and finish

    The finished bronze is coloured with heat and chemistry, then sealed with a hand-applied patina unique to each edition.
