Bronze gives a design weight, detail and character. Bring us an idea, photograph, physical model or technical drawing. We will assess the possibilities with you and guide the work from first model to finished bronze piece.
We cast bronze for art, design, decorative work and restoration. A one-off sculpture calls for different decisions than an ornament that must fit an existing structure. We discuss shape, dimensions, purpose and quantity before choosing the casting approach.
02
The right model and mould
A sketch may first become a model; an existing component can be scanned or moulded. Depending on detail and quantity, we may use lost-wax casting or a sand mould. After casting, we inspect the result and discuss grinding, polishing or patination.
03
Easy to get started
You do not need a complete production plan. Send photos, a drawing or a 3D file with approximate dimensions and quantity. We will tell you what else we need and how to move the project forward.
04
Agree the bronze finish before making the model
Would you like to keep the texture of a handmade model, create smooth surfaces or use a particular patina? Send a reference image and discuss this before mould making. We assess which details the mould must capture and which operations are needed after casting. A one-off bronze piece and an edition may require different preparation.

Frequently asked questions
Can I enquire with only a photo or sketch?
Yes. That is enough to start a conversation. We will agree on any additional measurements or models needed for production.
Can you make a single piece?
A one-off or small edition may be possible. The best method depends on its shape, detail, size and finish.
Can the same bronze design be cast again later?
Mention a possible future edition in your first enquiry. The model and mould construction determine what can be reused and what preparation will still be needed.
Is every bronze casting suitable for outdoors?
We assess the design, alloy, finish and installation individually. Tell us where it will be placed and how it will be fixed so those conditions can be considered.
What do you need for a useful price indication?
Send whatever you already have: a photograph, sketch, drawing, model or file. Dimensions, quantity, intended use and finish help us assess the production route. If anything is missing, we will ask you directly.
