Sand casting offers a bold, textural alternative to lost wax - producing strong, raw, and tactile surfaces that celebrate the character of bronze. At London Bronze Casting, we use sand casting for select projects where weight, texture, and directness of form are desired.

We create bespoke sand moulds for bronze, aluminium, and other non-ferrous metals, using traditional methods adapted for contemporary sculpture. Each mould is packed, rammed, and vented by hand, allowing us to control the integrity of the form while embracing the natural irregularities and textures the process creates.

Sand casting allows for a directness and material honesty that can't be replicated in ceramic shell. It's ideal for works where surface variation, scale, and mass are part of the concept. It also enables faster turnaround for large or geometric forms without compromising structural integrity.

Artists looking to explore weight, texture, and material expression. Designers working on furniture or architectural elements in bronze. Also ideal for one-off works where the tooling and wax stages of lost wax may be unnecessary.
