What
we can do
In working
bronze, we continue a tradition lasting some 5,000 years. For structural
use bronze has of course been largely superceded by wrought iron and
steel. However its resistance to corrosion and fatigue mean that there
remain applications for the various alloys of bronze where their strength
is important. Examples include strapping for masonry and marine fittings.
Bronze has
always found use in more decorative applications. It is a wonderfully
tactile material, which casts well and can also, with modern techniques,
be successfully welded. Beyond that the range of surface finishes
available, combined with natural or deliberate patination and/or plating,
mean that bronze can be formed and finished to suit your needs. The pieces
we make combine strength, attractiveness and longevity.
In the
notes which follow we look at current and recent projects, the types of bronze and the processes which
we can use to create finished articles
