Which material to choose?

Bronze Resin – bronze metal powder is mixed with a resin to create the appearance of foundry bronze metal, but is more affordable and lightweight.

Foundry Bronze – refers to the poured molten metal that is cast solid or hollow, depending on size, at a bronze foundry (using the traditional lost wax process). It is more robust and will appreciate in value.

The inspiration behind the sculpture

Harry is a an old boy who is getting stiff in his back legs but still loves to follow you around and be part of the fun. Harry actually struggled to sit at all when I visited him, but in all other respects he was a star sitter. He was patient with my photos and measurements and waggy at all times! He wasn’t even phased when his sculpture turned up at his home, preferring to enjoy our company and wander into our videos whenever he saw the opportunity.

How it was made

I visited Harry and took lots of photographs of him in a variety of poses. I watched his expressions and mannerisms, and heard about the way he behaved at home with his family. After that, with his owners, I decided which pose would suit him best, then proceeded to model Harry in clay.

Once I’d sculpted Harry a rubber mould was taken, with ‘keys’ placed in the rubber to ensure proper positioning. Then a shell of fibreglass was applied, to protect the mould and support it during the casting process.
