The process behind the bronze…
“The process leading up to a completed bronze work is a collaborative journey. It begins with a conversation about your vision — whether you have a clear idea or just a feeling you want to capture. From there, I will create a sketch — a small-scale clay model so that you can see the sculpture begin to take shape, and provide feedback. Once approved, I will sculpt it in full-scale. The remaining stages include molding, casting, and finishing, resulting in a beautiful, lasting bronze that represents your initial vision.”
If you have a project in mind, please get in touch. Joel would be delighted to help turn your vision into a timeless bronze sculpture.
