Classic Sculpture and Painting Blog

I've had a web site for about 5 years now, and although I did get a lot of compliments on the design created by Smerb Designs, it was time for an update. Recently my good friend Nicole has taken on that challenge. She took excellent photos, added new sections and made the site much more interactive while preserving everything I liked about the original design. Nicole's sister, Kim, revamped the existing text and wrote content for the new sections. Together they created a totally polished web site for me and I couldn't be more pleased.

I think Kim's greatest addition is an overview of the bronzing process. So often I encounter people who think that bronze is poured over clay or the clay is dipped in bronze. I do understand why there is confusion since the popular practice of bronzing baby shoes is performed by dipping the shoes into the bronze, and for many people this is the only time they were ever exposed to bronzing.

Whether you are looking to have a bronze created in the near future or are simply interested in how sculptures are created, I encourage you to read The Bronzing Process page which takes you through all 20 steps of the lost wax casting method of bronzing.
