Making the Memorial Celtic Cross - St Edward's RC Church Oldham

Earlier this year St Edward’s R.C. Church in Oldham commissioned us to create a lasting memorial to Canon Eugene Dolan who passed away in 2017 after 47 years of service to the parish.

To that end we were inspired by so...

‘Every day is a school day’ so they say. A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending a portrait sculpture masterclass organised by the @societyofportraitsculptors, held at the Heatherley School of Arts in London. The classes were tutored by professional sculptor, Marcus Cornish who demonstrated his techniques and approach to constructing the essential forms and structures which underpin an accurate likeness of the sitter. Marcus punctuated his practical guidance with contextual displays and examples from other sculptors. Seeing how past masters had approached the characterisation of their models really opened my eyes to the possibilities searching for something more than just a ‘likeness’. The classes provided a great opportunity to work alongside a diverse group of fellow artists who are striving to improve their skills too. @marcuscornishsculptor @lifedrawingchannel @heatherley_school_of_art #portrait #portraitsculptureworkshop #portraitsculptures #portraitbust #waxportrait #sculpturemasterclass #stephencharnock #london #heatherley_school_of_art #marcuscornish
is it possible to ask for information?
Really commendable. Really useful. Thanks.
Nice piece.
Awesome stuff guys! Well done to Stephen, Neil and Rick!
Nice QUALITY work guys. Shame people today would rather watch trash casting videos instead of real professionals demonstrating their craft. Keep it up, some of us know the difference. ;-) I wanna see this when it's finished! Subbed
thanks! re: the copper smelting video was for someone who wanted to buy that old furnace - it proved I could not get it to smelt copper. I will remove the video - its pretty boring too
Wow! Your work is beautiful.
You are very good in capturing a likeness. I created a bust many years ago, and now I would like to create a mold and a plaster copy so that I can send it to the family of the subject who had posed. It looks like him. But I don't want to harm the original in any way. I'm looking into the brush on method....but I realize it would also have to have a strong outer covering. Do you recommend rubber or silicone?
Hi Maria, You will need to find a supplier of RTV Silicone (Room Temperature Vulcanising)
Cool video thanks for posting.. i see you put a piece of cardboard to stop the crucible from sticking to the plinth both in and out of the furnace... can you tell me your procedure for that in any detail?... do you put several layers of cardboard at start up of furnace or ... over the course of the heat?.. so you have any insight from experience that youl'd be willing to share?.. am interested in eventually going to cast iron, have seen some say cardboard works great... and seen some say it doesn't. Additionally did you preheat the ceramic shells in this case... then set them in the barrel and cover with sand to insulate and stabilize for pooring ... or are they roughly room temperature in the sand box?... thanks for your input if you are able to share.
Hi Jim, I'm pouring bronze so I cant advise about best practice for cast iron. We put 1 layer of card in furnace every time the crucible goes in - this makes a layer of ash that stops the crucible sticking to the pedestal. And also 1 piece on the concrete plinth you can see in the video when we transfer the crucible from tongs to pouring iron. We also pre-heat the shells to a dull red temperature (550 degrees C)then put them in dry paving sand. The sand helps keep the temperature in the shells prior to pouring + it also will stop leaks if the shell has any cracks.
beautiful... exactly what one would think... sand stabilizes and insulates the shells... that cardboard / ash topic is a pretty good topic it seems... Thanks very much for your response... and for providing the video... hope you guys are doing great.
Best of luck with the casting Jim - all the best
