About us
The Lost Foundry is a fine art bronze casting foundry that specialises in using the traditional lost wax method to create stunning, enduring works of art. Founded by Rich, a passionate artist and master of bronze casting, The Lost Foundry has grown from humble beginnings into a thriving artistic space which brings original ideas to life. Our small team of skilled craftsmen work on projects of all sizes, from sculptures for independent artists to monumental public installations.
Our dedication to quality, creativity, and precision ensures that every piece we create meets the highest standards of craftsmanship.
The lost wax method is a casting technique that dates back thousands of years; a process that allows us to create intricate detail and precise finishes in our bronze sculptures.
By creating a mould from the artist’s original sculpture, we can form a wax replica which is encased in a ceramic shell. The wax is then melted away, leaving a hollow form ready for molten bronze.
Each step of the process requires the utmost precision and care, resulting in a final piece that captures every contour and line of the artist’s original sculpture.
