Bronze Casting Foundry – Getting Quotes From Bronze Foundries

Getting Low Priced Quotes - Getting a good price for casting a bronze sculpture can be difficult. If you are a lesser -known artist, you might get charged top dollar to cast your 12” sculpture. Those casting more sculptures or larger sculptures will typically get a break on the price.

 Money can also be saved by using a foundry that operates in a location with lower overhead and labor costs.
 
By expanding your foundry search outside of your area, you can open yourself up to saving quite a bit more on the costs of casting your sculptures.

Getting Discounted Quotes – Posting your bronze casting job on Contract Auction is a great way to get a lower price for your casting, mold making or fabrication.

By obtaining multiple bids on your project, you can be sure that you are going to get a discounted quote from the price you would pay going to a local foundry.

Problems With Casting in Foreign Countries - If you are looking for ways to save money beware of trying to cast fine art objects in China, or Latin America. It is common practice among many of these to throw old plumbing copper into the bronze mixture. This saves them money, but the result is an extremely subpar finish on the sculpture.
 
Also, by casting your work overseas, it is also very likely that your copyright will not be respected and your work can easily be copied and sold by others.
