Thanks for this concise, educational, and enjoyable treatment of the subject. You have a no-nonsense yet pleasant style of presenting the material. I spent an entire afternoon at Shidoni foundry near Santa Fe spending about an hour with the crafters in each phase of this process. PRICELESS!

Foundries are special places, what a cool place to visit. Santa Fe has such a great community of sculptures

I've never witnessed such a complex, tedious process to produce a shelf ornament. Those things must cost $10,000 dollars a piece when you consider the man-hours, giant industrial vats, and ovens. Did I mention the molten metal workers wearing space suits? Holy COW!

I used to work at a bronze art foundry in Berkeley California... very tedious work for sure! Good video.

Being your an artist you have the skill to make the art and know all the processes so really this art comes down to ADHD and doing every step to the finest result which really comes down to how far your willing to go to put in the finest details and not just settle for being done early. The most crucial part in my view is the subject matter then detail. After that you take every step to the end in the best quality, Imagine doing this before electricity What a task of hand work !

This is fabulous, I really enjoyed watching this . I have some horse candle holders that are most likely bronze and I can’t find any google search images of anything like them . I noticed they have some white spots which lead me on a search and ended up reading about bronze rot , or bronze disease.. which lead me to wonder if these could be molded again to make more of them .. they really are beautiful , and I’m hoping some day to learn how to do this !

Thank you! You could make molds of your candles, plaster is one of the cheapest ways I know of. You could also take it to a bronze foundry and they can make the molds and caste it for you.

hey that is so cool! Do you know the sculptors Jason Millward, Leroy Transfield and Joseph Brickey? I think they have worked with Adonis Bronze in Utah and I helped start the Figure Sculptors United competitions with them. So cool to see someone in that area go over the professional mold making process!
@MrOtterArtStudio6 ай бұрын
Hey! I did work with some of the them. I was so amazed by Leroy Transfield's work. I didnt meet all the artists, but if I was a collector, and one day I will be, Leroys sculptures are on my list:). I loved working there, and Im still so fascinated by the process.

I’m not a patina expert but they did use potash on this to oxidize the bronze and turn it green…. I would say scrub it with hot water in case there is wax on it, and leave it outside and let the elements do their thing

How much did it cost to cast those in bronze? Both the otter and the temple?
@MrOtterArtStudio11 ай бұрын
It was $500 for the Otter and $2,000 for the temple, and I did some of the work, so that is discounted

It depends on size, the final otter bronze is solid, the temple is hollow.

i just heard Bronze is the most durable art that can withstand thousands of years... Maybe we should make a museum out of modern bronze statues, Buildings, Technology like Car, PC etc.. I say PC because on a PC you can see the parts. You could actually make a Lego like statue where you can take all the parts apart. 😂 You could make the same with Cars etc.. So technology wouldn't be wasted. everything should have 2 statues one modular one solid in case someone wanna steal it.. 😂
