The Rusting Bay is overflowing with Iron Resin sculpts, all awaiting their moment of glory at the forthcoming Open Studios. When the sculpts come out of the moulds they are a greyish black colour. I then spray them several times a day with water. After a couple of weeks the rusting process begins and I carry on hosing them down for a further 6 – 8 weeks for the full decayed effect! For a less overall rusty finish, I will stop the spraying earlier. It’s a facinating process and each cast is different from the next, even on limited runs, as the finished effect varies a lot.
