Hey I love this. Great works of art. How long you been doing this, and how much does it take to bronze stuff?

Thanks so much! I started sculpting a bit under 3 years ago when I went to art college. Working in bronze is incredibly time consuming and involves making more than one mould of the sculpture and lots of welding and grinding of the bronze :)

I see. That is about the same time I started working as well, three years ago. I went to Freda Diesing School. I like to get into bronzing myself, but it's going to take some time to build up to that. Great work. I can't wait to see your next big piece.

I'm trying to get into sculpting. Is there any advice you can give me on materials and where to start?

Sure. A great book that is a classic and really cheap is 'Modelling and sculpting the human figure' by Edouard Lantiri. Get a big block of Wed clay which is pretty cheap compared to oil based clays. It's beautiful to work with and drys very slowly. Buy a few simple tools and start looking at other artists work for inspiration. Good luck :)
