'Chester - Lurcher Thinking' Frith Bronze Animal Sculpture

'Chester - Lurcher thinking' is a gorgeous Frith cold cast bronze sculpture from Harriet Dunn. He has a delightfully calm pose, and measures approx 27cm long. The bottom is felted to protect the surface it is placed on.

These sculptures are what is known as 'cold cast bronze' or 'bronze resin'. This technique involves blending bronze powder with epoxy resin to produce a material which is applied to the interior of the silicone mould. Subsequent applications of this will produce a shell into which an armature (wire frame) can be constructed. The mould is then filled with a blend of resin and metal powders which are left to set. If this was solid bronze, it would be a LOT more expensive!
