Exploration in Casting

After doing plenty of resin and plaster casting I have explored casting in metals, including lead, bronze and iron. The latter were done at the old ESW, Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop.​

The bronze Celtic Cross is perhaps the most traditional of techniques deployed here utilising lost wax casting. After attempting more formal appoaches to green sand and resin sand casting I found direct approaches more interesting. The lead casting were done in my own workshop and look to transform lead while moulds retain the scars from the casting process.
