Firebird Bronze Testimonials - Rainbow Splendor

ART FOR A COMMUNITY

Rainbow Splendor

“The City of Troutdale asked local artist Rip Caswell of the Rip Caswell Bronze Sculpture Gallery to help us create a bronze for our Mayors Square in our downtown area. Visitors to the park are drawn to the sculpture because it serves not only as a water feature but because it epitomizes our city which is named Troutdale.

Rip Caswell’s gallery has one of the largest displays of bronze by a single artist in the United States. It is hard to stay away from Rip’s art gallery, he is incredibly talented at creating a unique piece of art that any community would love and appreciate.”

~Jim Kight
Mayor of Troutdale, Oregon

LOST WAX CASTING

This 6,000 year-old method of production is loved by artists, jewelers, and machinists because it maintains even the smallest detail. Our team of talented artisans has hundreds of combined years experience in this field- no job is too small or too large.

Casting from 3D printed material is also an option, especially for one-of-a-kind works of art. Please visit the Firebird 3D page for more info.
