How to get something cast in metal, in Lancashire, England?

• Hi all, I'm trying to work out how to find someone in Lancashire, England who can turn a couple of small plaster casts into something a bit more permanent (ie. metal). Can anybody suggest how I can find artists or small companies who will do this kind of thing? thanks DJ

• Answer:

  This is work for a Patternmaker, but it is not cheap. A pattern maker will have to make a mould for it, which is made in a special type of sand, then molten metal is Poured in to make it in metal. The cost depends on the design of what has to be cast. Whether it is straight forrward, or a complicated design. Some designs have to be made in two parts and after, they are joined together under a high degree of heat.
