Why Napa Valley Chooses Keeble Metal Works
Your work deserves both artistry and process discipline. Our team pairs traditional craftsmanship with methodical quality control: clean parting lines, accurate registration, smart gating/risers, careful burnout, controlled pours, and surface chasing that preserves the intent of the original. Whether you need a one-off bronze or a small edition, we deliver repeatable results and clear communication at every step.
Bronze Casting & Sculpture Casting in Napa Valley, CA
Lost-Wax Bronze Casting (Investment Casting)
We capture crisp edges, fine textures, and delicate undercuts with lost-wax methods tuned to your scale and alloy. We’ll advise on wall thickness, shrink allowance, and sprue layout to minimize porosity and distortion while protecting detail.
Sculpture Casting for Artists, Estates & Public Art
From tabletop editions to multi-part installations, we build molds, pull waxes, assemble shells, cast, and finish with predictable checkpoints. For public art, we can integrate hidden armatures, base plates, threaded inserts, and mounting hardware to make installation straightforward and secure.
Fine Art Foundry Services
Mold Making (Silicone & Rigid)
We produce stable, clean-pull molds that maintain registration and protect fragile originals. Multi-part designs, keys, and venting are planned to preserve detail and speed downstream finishing.
Wax Work & Wax Chasing
Our wax team chases seams, rebuilds crisp edges, and places gates/vents for directional solidification. Better wax means less metal chasing later—saving you time and preserving the artist’s surface.
Casting & Breakout
We control shell thickness, burnout profiles, and pour temperatures suited to your alloy. After breakout, we de-gate, chase, and peen the surface to remove witness marks while keeping form and gesture intact.
Metal Finishing & Patinas
Choose museum browns/blacks, contemporary greens, or color patinas. We prep surfaces by hand, apply hot/cold patination, and seal with wax or lacquer for indoor display—or UV-resistant coats for exterior Napa Valley installations.
