Bronze Sculpture Articles

Bronze casting is a sculpting technique that originated in the ancient times. The Greeks and Chinese mastered this process, which was later invigorated in the Renaissance period and is widely practiced in modern times. Very little ancient bronze Greek sculpture survived; history records attribute this to the fact that the metal was later melted down for other purposes. Amid the few existing examples of an enduring bronze work are two stunning successes: The Zeus of Artemisium and The Delphic Charioteer.

Bronze may be cast solid, hammered, carved, or created in incised forms. By itself, bronze can withstand exposure to the natural elements better than stone and other materials. This is the reason for it being extensively used and preferred for the creation of a wide range of outdoor public sculpture. Bronze is also ideal for casting art works. If melted in proper conditions, it flows into all the crevices of a mold, flawlessly reproducing every feature of the most dexterously created model. It is sensitive and malleable beneath the sculptor’s tool.

Art lovers all over the world search for superior bronze sculptures to expand personal collections. Bronze artwork is highly subjective, as a single bronze sculpture may appeal to one person and not to another. However, the superiority of bronze sculptures may be assessed according to their configuration and the molding process employed to create the artwork.

Wildlife, historic events and time period pieces can all be represented in bronze sculptures. These artifacts can be purchased from bronze sculpture manufacturers. If one is interested in unique work, opting for a custom-built bronze sculpture is an alternative.

While purchasing bronze sculpture, a buyer should be aware of the availability of fake statues. In the 19th and 20th century, at least 4,000 fake bronze castings of sculpture have gained access into the market and are still being displayed at many art exhibitions. Hence if one decides to purchase a bronze sculpture, one must study the sculpture thoroughly or enlist the help of a professional in assessing the originality of the piece.

Ice Sculpture For Wedding Reception

If you are intent on having an ice sculpture at your wedding reception there are a few things you will need to keep in mind. One of those things is what type of ice sculpture would you like? Is your wedding a formal affair where you will want a sophisticated design, or do you want a more fun ice sculpture for a more informal event?

Another thing to consider is where you would like the ice sculpture to be placed. There are those couples who like to have their ice sculpture on the table where guests will put the gifts; others prefer the ice sculpture at the bride and groom's table. You may want your ice sculpture to be in the foyer of the reception hall where guests will see it when they first enter, or you might want to put it next to the cake. Where you place the ice sculpture will also depend on the layout and the size of the room.

An ice sculpture may weigh anywhere from 150 to 200 lbs. so a table is important to support the weight. Finding the right artist to create your sculpture is your next order of business. You can start by asking friends and family for their recommendations. You can also search The National Ice Carving Association website for ice sculptors that are in your area.

It is advised that as soon as you make the decision to have an ice sculpture, that you call your order in. You will more than likely be asked for a deposit to secure your place on their calendar. You can order a sculpture that is carved by hand and is made of clear ice or you can choose a sculpture that has been molded and colored to complement the room or the wedding theme.

You will be presented with a wide array of choices when it comes to prices and styles. You may want to order an ice sculpture that has been custom designed especially for you or you may choose one of the offerings they advertise. Your ice sculpture should come with a guarantee for a timely delivery as well as setting up the sculpture along with a drip tray.

You can expect an ice sculpture that will be displayed indoors to last at least 5-8 hours. The larger pieces will last longer. The drip tray will catch the melting ice, so you don't have to worry about guests injuring themselves on a wet floor. The self-contained drip tray will typically be hidden by sprays of greens and baby's breath so that they guests will not see it. You may be offered table swans, balloons, candles or flower arrangements to make your display complete.

If you need some wedding favors such as beach wedding favors, silver wedding favors, coaster favors and more we got you covered.

Also we have a wide variety of bottle stoppers that will be great for your cocktail hour.

Don't forget the ladies either purchase them some nice bridesmaid gifts they'll love.
