SCULPTURE PROCESS | CLAY ORIGINAL to SAND CASTING a BRONZE

In this video I sculpt a clay original and take a plaster copy which is then transformed into a bronze using the sand casting process, which I take a detailed look at at Black Isle Bronze Foundry. This is an exciting new side to my art which I hope you enjoy.
I open 3 limited editions of 10 sculptures. We use patinated finishes and polish one of the bronze sculptures to an incredible mirror finish. I look at the moulding process and also the metal working.

Both the Apple sculptures as well As the pear sculpture are just beautiful. It’s tough for me to choose a favorite, but it’s probably the green apple. Thanks for the video!

[@ryanmodom]

I especially love the finish on the pear! Does the wax need to be reapplied? How often?

[@jamesparkersculpture]

Thanks Ryan, it is a great finish. It depends on the environment. If inside, not often. I can check on the advice from the foundry if you like for the best advice. Waxing can be done yourself cold - it is not essential to warm the bronze.

[@markwilliams8538]

@@jamesparkersculpture The bi debate, allow to weather or preserve the patina? I have a brass figurine in the garden which is starting to loose its patina so would equally be interested in knowing what sort of wax to use. Cheers
