Sculptors generally, but not exclusively, sculpt in clay or wax. A mould is then be made of this work according to which material
the final piece will be cast in. Bronze or foundry bronze pieces are made using hot metal which is poured into the mould and is
the more expensive of the two processes.
Cold cast bronze or bronze resin (two names for the same material) is essentially resin in which bronze particles are suspended and then
polished to resemble solid bronze - this is by far the cheaper process, making sculpture by established artists more affordable than it would
otherwise be.
As completely different types of mould are required by each process, a work would not usually be produced in both materials, hence a
sculpture cast in bronze would not generally also be cast in bronze resin and vice versa.
