Bronze Casting Glossary

The directors of Castaway Foundries are Laury Dizengremel and Philip Wicks, assisted by Lorraine Grandi and other dedicated professionals.

The Directors' aim for Castaway Foundries is to cut the costs of bronze casting.

Laury's extensive experience in China has shown that Chinese foundries provide much better value than those in the West, provided only that the transport and liaison elements are efficiently dealt with.

Castaway foundries provide that link to everyone's benefit.

Philip Wicks is an experienced administrator, born in Australia. He has lived in England for the last thirty years. He acts as UK office manager, in charge of processing orders and handling shipping of your sculptures to and from China.

Laury Dizengremel is a professional sculptor with extensive experience sculpting and casting in China. She is the coordinator for all casting in our Chinese foundry. She checks quality control of mould making , wax casting, ceramic shell investment and lox-wax processes, metal chasing and bronze patination for limited editions. French-born, she has lived and worked in England, the United States, China and Ireland.

Lorraine Grandi is an English-Italian professional mould-maker and casting technician. If you do not currently have a hard copy of your original sculpture, she can make a mould here in the UK as well as a hard copy which we will send over to the bronze foundry in China (a prerequisite for having your work cast to a high standard).

Mr. Liu Chengyun is a director in one of the foundries.
