Bronze Casting Patina

Cari Amici,

So, the foundry has finished the casting of my newest bronze “Against the Dying of the Light” and now it is my turn to work. I look over every section of my metal sculpture and rework any details that may have been changed by the bronze casting process. Once the sculpting has been finished again, glass beads are blasted over the entire sculpture to remove any remaining mold material and to remove the oils from my hands. The bronze must be absolutely clean so that the chemical patination application process has fewer variables.

Stay tuned . . .
