THE FOUNDRY

Casting bells in bronze offers many advantages. The metal is durable and is highly resistant to corrosion. A wide range of forms and sizes is possible and, most importantly, the bells ring with a strong, pure tone that is unique to bronze.

Molding sand is a mixture of fine sand, clay and a small amount of water. The sand is packed around a wood or composite pattern and will retain an impression from that pattern much the same as leaving footprints in damp beach sand. The pattern is removed leaving a sand mold into which we can pour molten bronze. When the bronze cools, it becomes the solid casting.

ABOUT US BELLS

Richard Fisher has been handcrafting bells since 1970. The bell designs are all original and encompass a variety of wind and door bells, for both indoor and outdoor use. Wind bells, with their external mahogany clappers can be hung outside where their clear tones rise and fall with the passing breezes. Doorbells have been designed to lend elegance to a range of architectural styles, both contemporary and traditional. All U.S. Bells are cast in silicon bronze, an alloy which produces rich, clear tones and endures very well in harsh outdoor environments. They are guaranteed for life and your satisfaction is assured with any purchase.

US Bells has deliberately chosen the tradition of a small working studio where they can offer fine handcrafted products of original designs, excellent quality, and attentive service.
