Unusual Work
This
good looking fellow is the "Lincoln Imp" - proudly made by Ossett
Mouldings Limited!
Working from a postcard sized photograph, he was sculpted in clay to the
overall height of One Metre (c.39").
Moulded, using cost saving techniques developed by our craftsmen, cast
in plaster.
Installed in a public location by our Lincoln client he now swings 5
metres above spectators heads on his suspension wires.
One
rooftop set of railings is 110 year old Victorian cast iron.
The other set is Twenty First Century cast resin by Ossett Mouldings!
Some
elements were moulded from originals, some sculpted from clay, moulded
and cast in resin.
Close up, these components are really convincing. On a rooftop they are
real! Oh! The Ossett Mouldings railings are the ones on
the...............
If you wish to see "close up" how these look, any one can inspect
similar items on the
Yorkshire Mural.
This
is a WW2 "Bomb Hole", made for the current BBC drama "Born and Bred".
Earth, peat, roots and pebbles were dressed onto specially formed
backings.
These were naturally stratified and realistically coloured.
Remember - Ossett Mouldings made the world's first "walk in", above
ground bomb hole with side doors to admit cameras and actors!
"Arnie's
The Governor of California's Head"! Sculpted by Roger Rowley, an
"A" Level Art student.
Roger very skilfully formed the original in clay (image to left), the
teeth he borrowed from his dentist.
We moulded it as economically as possible for him.
And cast it in an "aluminium effect" resin (image to right).
Sadly we lost his dentists teeth - sorry Roger!
Sad News: We have only very recently discovered that this artwork of
Roger's has been stolen. It was nicked from pride of place where it was
on show at Roger's school in North Leeds. So if you see this - and
note only one was ever made, it is truly unique. Please contact us or
any police station with the details. We all would wish Roger to get this
back - believe me, he put a great deal of work into it. Many thanks.
