| Roger Squires and the MFH Art Foundry
Established in Hampshire in 1985, MFH Art Foundry specialises in casting original sculptures in bronze or silver, using the lost wax process. We offer a fully comprehensive service from mould to exquisitely finished bronze and silver sculptures.
We have always taken the greatest care to work closely with the artists who have entrusted their work to us. All processes are carried out by our own staff under one roof and we can advise on any technical problem that may occur from the initial moulding to the pristine finished work of art. We like to work closely with our artists to ensure that the result is of the highest quality. They are welcome to visit us at all stages of development of their work. We are only too well aware that artists often have to work to tight deadlines and we undertake to meet these deadlines if reasonable warning can be given.
Roger Squires, the new owner of the Foundry is a very accomplished silversmith who, for the past thirty years, has specialised in fabricated and hand-raised pieces in silver and bronze.
His studies in Sir John Cass School of Art in London has given him a firm grounding in traditional silver working but his knowledge and expertise are applied to all casting and finishing of bronze and silver sculptures.
The Foundry has regularly completed work for established artists Vivien Mallock, Emma MacDermott, Judy Boyt, Mary Beattie-Scott and many others. We have also produced plaques and trophies for the Epsom Derby, Badminton Horse Trials and other prestigious events. We were responsible for moulding the bronze statues of 'Monty' in Portsmouth and Normandy and recently cast portrait bronze busts of HRH The Prince of Wales and HM The Queen Mother.
