Client LOVE_
Many of our Artists and Artisans wish to remain anonymous because sometimes the exact artistic process must remain mysterious.

The Way We Work
+
–
Uma Rodriguez from Modern Family explains the casting process.
A DECADES old foundry
+
–
American Fine Arts exclusively works on casting fine art projects in bronze and stainless steel.
Working With Passion
+
–
With Screen Actors Guild for 17 years now to produce the actor award statues. It’s been a real pleasure and believe it or not the statue is still 12 pounds and in 2019 we cast six hundred and sixty bronze statues each one numbered and poured individually.
The Process
+
–
We receive the original sculpture from a local artist and make a mold. It’s the lost wax casting method, a one-time unique hard copy piece is made, then covered in a temporary ceramic mold—followed by a bronze pour at 2000 degrees. The ceramic mold is then broken off, the casting is then finished and a special Screen Actors Guild Award patina applied.

EVERY STEP OF THE 8-STEP PROCESS MUST BE 100% ACCURATE
1
Production of the
Original Sculpture
Although oil based clay is the most commonly used medium for sculptors, water-based clay, stone, wood or any number of other materials can be used. Complex pieces are normally built over a metal armature.
2
MAKING The Rubber
Mold
A high quality silicone rubber mold with a fiberglass or plaster case allows us to make a hollow wax impression of the original sculpture.
