Creating a large cast copper fountain sculpture requires a high level of skill and craftsmanship. The process begins with the creation of a mold, which can be made from a variety of materials, depending on the complexity of the design. Molten copper is then poured into the mold and allowed to cool and solidify. Once the casting process is complete, the sculpture is cleaned, polished, and finished to the desired specifications.
Skilled artisans may also apply techniques such as hammering, engraving, or texturing to the surface of the copper, adding depth and detail to the final piece. In some cases, chemical treatments are applied to accelerate the development of the patina, allowing the sculpture to achieve its final aesthetic more quickly.
