ABOUT
As the sole owner/operator of McKillop Fine Art Foundry I have been casting and creating sculpture since 1988. I specialize in offering individualized attention to your project. All aspects of casting, chasing, patination and mold making are done by me. I bring my accumulated knowledge to your project and can provide everything from initial moldmaking all the way to final installation. My shop has the capacity to pour 300 lbs of silicon bronze and to finish pieces well over life-size. Whether you need one small sculpture cast or multiple editions I can accommodate. If you would like to have one person in charge of seeing your artwork through the process in a timely and efficient manner and with fine attention to detail, then you have come to the right place. Contact me for a price quote.
