Edge Sculptures – How they are made

As many of our clients like to know how and where the sculptures are made, here are the details. Firstly, they are all made in the UK in Shropshire by the designer Matt Buckley and hand finished with the help of his talented team of artists.  They are perfect examples of contemporary sculptures that will become the collectables of the future.

Design

In stage one, Matt researches the subject to create an initial design. Starting with a basic sketch he then moves to design in clay on a turntable relying on his mind’s eye for aesthetic judgement.

Sculpting

The figures are formed in clay on a sturdy frame to ensure the piece will hold the weight of the wet clay. The composition is paramount in order to make a figure that will stand solidly whilst retaining a deliberate rawness to the finish.

Moulding

The sculpture takes pride in keeping the integrity of the original clay sculpture in every subsequent piece so producing the rubber mould is a critical stage. The clay subject is placed in a sealed case to enclose the piece as closely as possible, and then pre-vacuumed liquid rubber is poured. Once the rubber has hardened, it is carefully cut from the original clay and is now ready for use.

Casting

Once the mould is ready for use, a mix of marble resin is carefully poured which is then lowered into a vacuum chamber to remove any unwanted air bubbles. Once cured and hardened, the cast is removed, and the first clean white sample of the piece is ready.

Fettling, sandblasting and levelling

This stage is essential to prepare the piece for painting and finishing. One of the experienced ‘fettlers’ will remove any mould lines and casting residue using various tools and sanding blocks. Any sculptures that are made from several pieces are assembled using steel pins, resin and glue. The piece is then sandblasted to give it a slight key ready for painting.

Painting & finishing

To add the finishing touches, the piece goes to the design studio where colour patterns are developed and chosen hues applied. All pieces are hand finished by the talented team of artists. When finished, this piece becomes the Studio Master. All subsequent prices are compared against the master to ensure the excellent level of consistency and continuity.

Once is finalised the piece becomes a part of the range and is the pride of the sculpture and the development team.
