Bronze Casting Glossary

Castaway Foundries is a UK and Canada based company that offers bronze casting at rates far lower than those available in the West.

Castaway uses Chinese Foundries to help English and Canadian sculptors obtain top quality reproductions and enlargements of their original sculpture at a fraction of the usual cost.

The advantages are essentially:

— Much lower cost, particularly with longer runs / limited editions, etc.

— You can save on average 35% and often up to 50% on the cost of casting.

— Supervision of the casting of your works by experienced sculptors.... or......

— .... If you wish to go to China 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 foundry.

— Quality every bit as good as in the UK, USA or Canada

The disadvantages are:

— If you want to be involved in any stage of the foundry work yourself, you do have to travel to China!

— The "order to delivery time" may sometimes be a bit longer because of shipping constraints

— The price advantage on single reproductions is not going to be all that high - it's when you have an order for a number of pieces or limited editions that savings will be significant.

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

How we work:

if you want a free quotation, fill out our Enquiry Form and send us an e-mail with pictures of your sculpture, then we will give you a quotation for bronze casting.

After that, you send us your original artwork and fill out our Casting Order Form. We ship your artwork to our foundry in China, get your sculpture enlarged or cast into bronze, for small works either as a limited or unlimited edition, or in the case of monumental works, as a unique piece. Then we get the artworks securely packaged for shipment, and have them transported back to you.

For a full description of how we proceed, see our Working Methods page.
