Description

These sculptures are created using the lost wax method. Initially made in Plaster of Paris, the cast is made in solid bronze, and finished by coating with a wax based polish.  The object is safe and comfortable to hold. Over time, signs of oxidisation can be remediated using metal polish and a soft cloth.
