Black Arts
Our Staffordshire based foundry produces lost wax casting utilising a deep understanding of the metals and processes invovled to achieve some of the best results possible in today’s casting market.
Having grown from traditional gold smithing Black Arts naturally has a keen eye for quality and detail.
We have developed our casting processes over many years and this enables us to transfer a jewellery quality finish onto our castings. We also understand the need for sustainability and profitability and we are willing to invest our time and expertise to help our customers succeed.
Our casting is based upon a complete understanding all of the available science and technology that is required to complete a truly excellent cast. We ensure a casting profile that will give you the cleanest and densest castings possible for your models.
Lost wax casting is singly the most complex way in which to cast an object, amongst it’s benefits are the ability to cast extremely complex forms very close to finished net shape with close maintenance of dimensions and surface textures (model dependent).
Many casters simply operate equipment and ‘hope for the best’ at your expense. Our experience and skills allow us to cast reliably, rapidly and cost effectively.
Every piece of work we conduct is guaranteed 100% for manufacturing faults, exluding designer flaws or insurmountable design compromises.
We charge for a quality product that is based on its own merits and not on what we believe a customer could potentially pay. Our transparent pricing means we don’t charge significantly above market value for the metal we use and customers are also welcome to supply their own standard metals should they wish. We consider both large runs and one off casting commissions and we are happy to discuss pricing options if your work does not fall into our standard pricing matrix.
Black Arts operate on a full non-disclosure basis with every customer. We will never release your moulds and/or finished goods to a third party or use them ourselves in any way including within our own literature without express permission. We will however release a customers moulds back to the customer by request and without any fees other than the postage required.
We complete work for many famous high street brands and manufacturers.
