For
more than twenty years the team at Old School Bronze has
been producing fine art bronzes for sculptors from throughout
the world. Located just south of Walla Walla Washington
in the rolling hills and farming country of Umapine Oregon.
This full service facility is owned and operated by Leif
Dillow.
The ownership of Old School Bronze has always prided itself
on understanding the particular requirements of their
clientele. From enlarging works, mold making and chasing
to the fine finishing and patination of the completed
piece, Leif Dillow is determined to translate exactly
what the individual artist desires to express.
Whether a work is a miniature or a monument, Old School
Bronze seeks and achieves success in delivering their
products to the artist on time and at the highest level
of quality. Discussing in detail what the individual artist
is striving to achieve and being aware of this is a critical
part of this foundry's philosophy of work. This understanding
is applied to each individual piece throughout the process
of going from model to finished work.
Old School Bronze's spacious facility has sufficient room
for individual artists to work on their projects at the
foundry. This is in keeping with the ownership's belief
that, should the artist wish it, it’s important
to give him/her the opportunity to appreciate and understand
the production and casting process itself.
All artists are welcome to come by for a visit or send
a description of their work that they wish to have cast.
The staff at Old School Bronze is convinced that they
can provide you with an unsurpassed product at the fairest
possible price.
