Scale Your Scupltures Up

Whether working from a maquette, 3D model, or rough sketch, we specialize in scaling small concepts into powerful large-format sculptures—preserving the nuances and integrity of your original artwork.
From fine detail to monumental scale, we employ the time-honored lost wax casting method to produce bronze sculptures with remarkable fidelity to the original design. It’s an ancient technique, perfected through decades of hands-on experience.

Welding Services for Artists

We use advanced MIG and TIG welding techniques to assemble large-scale sculptures and structural forms—ensuring durability without compromising on form, texture, or artistic intent.

Your Bronze will Outlive Us All!

We treat bronze as a legacy. Bruning Sculpture's foundry methods ensure each piece reflects the permanence, presence, and artistry that bronze is known for. We strive to complete a good casting the first time...and with the involved casting method, you don't want to do it again!
