Why Clients Choose Keeble Metal works in San Francisco
Quality metalwork is equal parts artistry and process control. We focus on both. You’ll get predictable casting, tight surface prep, clean seams, and finishes that honor the intent of the original form. We’re set up for short runs and one-offs, with thoughtful guidance on pattern prep, parting lines, gating, risers, and shrink allowances to protect detail and dimensional accuracy.
Bronze Casting & Sculpture Casting
Lost-Wax Casting for Fine Detail
Our bronze casting workflow captures crisp edges, subtle textures, and undercuts using lost-wax methods. We help you choose the right alloy, wall thickness, and sprue layout to preserve detail while minimizing porosity and warpage.
Sculpture Casting for Artists & Institutions
Whether it’s a tabletop piece or a multi-part installation, we build molds, wax patterns, and ceramic shells with repeatable QC steps. For public art, we coordinate bases, hardware, and hidden structural components, then fabricate mounts for safe, secure installation.
