Cold cast by my family's business at (LSSculptureCasting.com). Have a look at the website to see more about the process.

'Abstract Form I' is from a series of 3 sculptures I recently completed. I have been looking closer at the textures and patterns found in tumbled shells, pebbles and rocks. Ive tried to interpret a variety of familiar patterns and shapes into a form that is both pleasing to hold and touch as well as to look at. The idea originated from a popular past time for many of picking up pebbles from the beach and simply holding them and looking at them. One of life's simple pleasures.

I make my sculptures first in clay and then cold cast in bronze and resin. These sculptures are of the highest quality finish and great care and time is taken to achieve this.

I can provide a variety of finishes such as aluminium or copper. If you would like the sculpture to be cast in an alternative finish then please don't hesitate with your request. I would be happy to arrange this.


Frequently asked questions

Q. Can it be used as a garden sculpture?
A. Yes the sculpture is completely frost-proof making it suitable for the garden. Due to the almost solid bronze outer layer, it does react with the weather and can, as solid bronze, develop verdigris. This can be cleaned off very gently if required by using a small "wash up" sponge with a rough side to it. This will highlight the metal.

Q. What about after care?
A. Do not use strong detergents or chemical cleaners, as this will destroy the surface. If placed outside is advisable to polish the sculpture with pure bees wax once a year.

Q. Ordering sculptures?
A. Ordering an additional sculpture in bronze or another finish such as aluminium or rusted iron for example has a lead-time of 6 weeks.

Q. What about aftercare?
A. Do not use strong detergents or chemical cleaners, as this will destroy the patination. It is advisable to polish them with pure bees wax once or twice a year. Brush on the wax from the tin, leave for 2 hours before gently buffing.

Securing the sculpture

The sculptures are made with a threaded rod screwed into the underside and cemented in. This is then bolted onto the slate base if provided with the sculpture.
The sculpture can be fixed using an extra long bolt to be attached to a pedestal, however this needs to be requested.
However if the slate base is placed on a flat non porous surface, I recommend securing it with Museum Wax, which will stop it from being knocked off. This is a non permanent solution and the Museum Wax does not dry.
You could also use epoxy resin glue to cement the base in place.

3cm slate bases

I supply 3cm thick slate bases either 30cm, 20cm or 17cm with my sculptures, which have a hole in the middle 1cm and countersunk on the underside by 1.5cm deep (for the nut attachment) by a diameter of 3cm.

Displaying sculptures - pedestals/plinths

Useful information about how to display your sculpture can be found here:
https://www.forging-ahead.co.uk/Plinths.htm

Some photos show my sculptures displayed on slate-affect planters that have been turned upside down and used as pedestals. They are relatively inexpensive and you can find a variety of stone finishes and sizes. They are also easy to move around. One customer placed a tile, matching in size and colour, on top of an upturned planter to display their sculpture, which looked great. https://www.primrose.co.uk/planters

This is a truly special piece. I'm proud to display it!


Love it!


I’ve purchased a few sculptures from Kara and I love them all. This sculpture makes me smile every time I see it in my garden. Great texture!


So many garden options are whimsical, religious or cartoon-like... this one is cool and abstract. Looks amazing. Kara was great and shipped it out quickly when I needed to make sure I had it in time to give as a gift.
