How We Make Our Sculptures

We use the ancient art of Lost Wax Casting to hand cast your sculpture in solid bronze metal, never resin or ‘cold cast’ bronze. Each time a piece is cast, a new mould is created and then destroyed, ensuring that every sculpture you purchase from us is utterly unique. Each piece is individually numbered by hand, indicating its specific casting number within the edition, and bears the artist’s signature, and our ‘NF’ maker’s mark.

Phase 1

Creation of the Master Mould

A single-use mould is meticulously created from the original artwork. This is the heart of the process—every detail captured here will be perfectly replicated in bronze. Molten wax is then poured into this mould, creating a precise duplicate of the artist’s original sculpture.

Phase 2

The Bronze Pour

The wax model is coated in a ceramic shell and then fired in a kiln, a process that melts and “loses” the wax. This creates a hollow ceramic mould. Molten bronze, heated to an incredible 1200°C/2200°F, is immediately poured into this mould. Once cooled, the ceramic shell is carefully broken away, revealing the raw bronze sculpture inside.

Phase 3

Hand Finishing & Patina

The raw bronze sculpture is expertly hand-finished by our skilled artisans. This final stage is where the sculpture’s character comes to life. Our craftsman applies heat and a chemical patina to the sculpture, creating a unique colour and effect. Finally, a protective wax coating is carefully applied and polished, giving the sculpture a beautiful, lustrous finish.

Phase 4

Authenticity & Numbering

Every piece is numbered by hand, authenticating its place within the limited edition and ensuring your sculpture is truly unique. It also bears our ‘NF’ maker’s mark, and the artist’s signature, a final mark of authenticity and quality.

Excellent Company. Deborah was invaluable in assisting me with choosing my final sculpture – a 60th birthday present for myself bought with my birthday money from my family. Something to keep forever. I was born 1963, the year of the rabbit/hare and love the dancing hare. I’ve named her Ginghare Rogers… always dancing. All my friends love her too. Couldn’t be happier

Extremely Pleased

Hi Debbie,
The dancing hare was a present and the recipient was absolutely overjoyed.
I was a bit nervous as all I knew of the hare was on the web site and was worried if the details would be detailed enough and when I eventually saw it I was extremely pleased. It was better than I thought it would be.
Thank you once a again. Stay safe.

Our Well Loved New Family Member!

I bought this as a birthday gift for a friend who is staying with me while building her home down the mountain from me, here by the Mexican border.
Many pleasantly eerie rabbity things have occurred down there, so she named the place Casa de Conejo.
I’m not exaggerating when I say I’ve never seen anyone appreciate a gift so much in my life!
Wherever we are, there’s always a hare there beside us!
Oh! I wanted to add a picture!
