Australian Bronze Sculpture House
”Bring your inspiration and let us assist you to realise your vision”
Australian Bronze is a specialist lost wax casting art foundry situated in the heart of Sydney’s Northern Beaches. They aim to provide their clients with work of exceptional quality and fine craftsmanship across a broad range of sculpting disciplines. At Australian Bronze they pride themselves on fine attention to detail in every phase of the casting process. This becomes critical in producing fine art sculpture from 3.5 ton monuments to delicate jewellery art pieces. The 520 square metre facility is purpose built to complete special, complex projects that would be difficult for either industrial or small scale foundries.
Open Studio Sculpture Program Tuesdays and Thursdays
Australian Bronze is hosting ongoing weekly open studio workshops aimed at providing an invigorating atmosphere to create sculpture for all levels of students. These workshops give an opportunity to students to develop their sculpture skills in a beautiful open studio environment at North Head Manly. Having a front row seat as real fine art projects develop on site and having access to the dynamic bronze casting facilities, students can work in a supportive studio on their own project at their own pace.
Cost $350 per 10 three hour sessions. These can be used up at your convenience. Start and finish times are flexible on every Tuesday and Thursday between 9.30am and 6.00pm. A $35 trial session is fine for students wishing to first check things out.
