Frequently Asked Questions

What services does Sparta Bronze offer?

We provide comprehensive bronze sculpting services from creation to final casting in any scale using the lost wax process.

What is lost wax bronze?

Lost wax bronze is a ancient way of turning a clay sculpture into a bronze statue that will last for centuries. A simple description is , We mold the piece, we cast wax into that mold , we take the wax casting and create wax channels or gating to the sculpture, then we dip the wax several times in ceramic shell material, then once the shell is dry we fire the ceramic shell, creating a ceramic mold of the wax. as it melts from the shell "lost wax" leaving a cavity that we replace with melted bronze, it cools and hardens and we remove the shell and gating, revealing a perfect bronze casting of the origional art. Ancient yes, but still the best way for perfect artwork that will last thousands of years .

A detailed bronze sculpture depicts a group of figures with a sense of movement and action. One figure holds a flag, another brandishes a sword, and a winged lion is present. The texture and intricate details of the figures and the base are highlighted against the sky.
