Silicone molds are essential tools in the world of sculpture and reproduction of pieces. They allow you to create precise copies of sculptures, decorative objects and other items. Here is some information about silicone molds: Molds are used to create copies of the original wax sculptures. Silicone molds are made from a flexible and malleable material such as silicone rubber from an original sculpture in clay, plaster or another equivalent material such as plasticine. Apart from the lost wax casting process, they are used to create decorative objects such as vases, statues, ornaments and other decorative objects.

After casting the Bronze, our chisels work on the Bronze (or aluminum, brass, etc.) using a series of techniques and tools. Imperfections and dirt are removed from the surface of the sculptures and if sculptures are cast in several parts, the welds are touched up. The surface finish can take several forms: Patina, or leaving the color of the metal visible. Some customers prefer to polish the surface until it looks like a mirror.
