THE FOUNDRY

Yorkshire Fine Arts Ltd is a small family bronze foundry based in Yorkshire.  We offer a complete foundry service from bespoke design, sculpture, through to bronze casting.  All stages of the work, which include design, sculpture, mould making, lost wax, ceramic shell, casting, welding, chasing, finishing and patina, are completed in-house by ourselves. This allows us to finish projects within reasonable timescales.  We are able to undertake both small and large scale projects.  We will also work on one off projects or projects that require an edition number to be produced.

The methods we use for bronze casting are similar to those used thousands of years ago.  We use modern day materials using traditional methods.  We pride ourselves on the quality of our workmanship and craftsmanship.  Each project is given a unique individual approach.  We work closely with the customer ensuring the finished sculpture is exactly what they want.

Each process is unique in its preparation and each one is hand crafted to a very high quality.  In an age of modern technology, it is unique to find such a “hands on” service provided.  We use techniques and methods that have been used for hundreds of years.  Unfortunately these skills are very difficult to find and are diminishing with modern technology and poor quality imports.  We also have the expertise to provide not only traditional patinas, but also contemporary patinas.

We have the NEBOSH and welding qualifications to undertake on site work.
