The Art of Bronze Making
From concept to completion, it takes several months to create a bronze edition.
Each sculpture is individually hand made using traditional methods:
• Working from original drawings, James C. Christensen and master craftsmen model the sculpture in clay segments.
• A silicone mold is prepared for wax casting and melted wax is poured into the mold.
• The wax casting is dipped in slurry, a silica compound.
• The slurry shell is heated and the liquid wax burns out leaving a rigid, heat-resistant “master” mold. Molten bronze is then poured into this mold.
• After cooling, the bronze is carefully removed and the segments are soldered together.
• The bronze is hand-sanded and polished and a variety of patinas give subtle colorations to the finished work of art.
