Bronze Casting Glossary

Please note that while every effort has been made to provide the following bronze patination chart for you to select your preferred patina, Castaway Foundries cannot guarantee that the patination on your sculpture(s) will be a perfect match as the colours shown here can be affected by your screen monitor, and the colour on your finished artwork will depend on the chemical composition of the bronze, the chemicals used to patinate it, and the surface / texture you have given to your artwork.

The picture files here are quite large so may take time to download. You can click on any image to see a larger image, which will take even longer to download, but we recommend that you do take the time to do this before placing your order.

The Casting Order Form allows you to select one (or several of our patinas) and also to give additional instructions. Please use similar simple descriptions - and best of all, if you have one, provide a sample.

Colours are a very subjective issue - we will do our best to patinate your bronze sculpture(s) so that form is enhanced by hue!

Our experienced patination technicians and supervising sculptors will do their utmost to follow your written instructions (as specified by you on the Casting Order Form). However, if you wish to go to China yourself to supervise your bronze patinations (or get involved in any step of the foundry work), then we (or you) can arrange travel, and we definitely can take care of accommodation and meal arrangements on site or close to the art foundry.


If you leave this step to us entirely, and the patina isn't exactly how you envisioned it, you will need to have it done again in your home country at your own expense as shipping it all there and back again is going to take too much time and end up costing a whole lot more!
