Sculptural Development
From the vision in clay to bronze
Every bronze portrait begins before the metal exists. The MARKET SAVANT sculpture was first modeled in clay, then prepared for mold-making and bronze casting.
Stage 01
The Vision in Clay
The artist establishes likeness, expression, gesture, proportion, surface, and character in the original modeled form.
Stage 02
Mold-Making
A mold records the completed clay model so its sculptural form can move into the bronze-casting process.
Stage 03
Bronze Casting & Finish
Casting, assembly, surface refinement, and finishing carry the modeled character into the completed bronze.
