LIVINGSTONE ART FOUNDERS

LIVINGSTONE ART

FOUNDERS LTD

Casting bronze sculpture using traditional Lost Wax process.
We are based just to the north east of Tunbridge Wells, where we have been for circa 40 years.

Founded by Wally Livingstone in the mid 60’s from premises in Bexley initially doing mould making, we introduced bronze casting and finishing in the late 70’s after moving out to west Kent.

Expansion led to current larger premises being sought which is where we have been since 1985.

We specialise in silicon moulds (with fibreglass cases), wax duplicates of sculptors’ originals, waste moulds for casting bronze, finishing and patination.

Bronze restoration, armature manufacture, steel/bronze fabrication is also undertaken.

Some of our recent projects

Clive Barker Paint Tins Livingstone Art Founders
Clive Barker
Nearly five decades after emerging as a Pop Artist, Clive Barker continues to make sculptures characterised by themes and techniques drawn from popular mass culture. In contrast to the abstract sculptor’s means of arranging shapes in a process of trial and error in order to create the final form, Barker’s creative process relies purely on intuition, association and memory. Barker’s past is still central to his present work, as 1960s London and New York are brought in to echo his present day mood.
