ABOUT THE CRAFT

Bronze casting is a traditional metalworking technique dating back thousands of years, known for its durability and artistic versatility. Artisans begin by creating a mold using wax or clay, into which molten bronze is poured. This process allows for intricate details and shapes, ranging from sculptures to decorative items.

Originating in ancient civilizations like Mesopotamia and Egypt, bronze casting has evolved to encompass various cultural styles and techniques worldwide. It requires skilled craftsmanship to achieve desired textures and finishes, often involving polishing and patination to enhance visual appeal and durability.

Today, bronze casting remains a celebrated art form, blending historical methods with modern innovations. Artisans continue to craft diverse creations, from statues honoring historical figures to contemporary sculptures, highlighting both artistic expression and technical expertise.
