THE SCULPTURE PROJECT

The technique requires a sharp mind, extreme care and skillful hands. Just as an experienced baker tests the dough with fingertips to check if it has risen fully, the casting workers rub the sand between their fingers to check whether the moisture content is right, depending on what they plan to cast and the prevailing weather. Production at Byarums Bruk is in other words reliant on a level of craftsmanship that is becoming increasingly prized today. Deep experience - developed through years of practice and often passed from generation to generation - is essential to achieve quality in production based on craft skills.
