The Craftsmen Casting in Bronze

on BBC Two England

"In my opinion it's as much a skill as producing the bloomin' thing in the first place."

Many great British sculptors - Moore, Hepworth, Chadwick - send their work to the Morris Singer Foundry in Basingstoke to have it cast in bronze. There the sculptor's original is moulded in wax or sand, cast, and finished to his exact specification. It is a combination of highly advanced modern techniques with old-fashioned craftsmanship - craft at the service of art.
