Top Rated Artisan: The gallery’s most trusted masters. How seller levels work
Biography
Bronze, cast the way the temples were.
Trained in a family of temple metalworkers, Ruwan founded his own foundry in Kandy twenty years ago. He works with a team of four craftsmen, modelling each figure in wax before casting, chasing and finishing it by hand. Every commission is photographed at each stage and shipped with a certificate of authenticity.
The Craft Story
A single figure passes through modelling, mould-making, casting, chasing and patination. The process cannot be rushed, which is why large works take three to four months.
