Andrew Lacey is a sculptor/founder and experimental archaeo-metallurgist who speci  alises in bronze casting and the reconstruction analysis of sculpture. His particular approach to building sculpture and exploring the nature of materials is influenced by historic and archaeological study.

Andrew runs a sculpture studio and bronze foundry in Dartington, Devon.  The three main areas of activity being art practice, research and education:

art practice - Andrew’s sculpture stems from a figurative tradition, heavily influenced by Classical and Renaissance equestrian sculpture. He casts his own work in bronze; this engagement with the casting process enables creative interception at any stage and leads to a lively exploration of the making of sculpture.  His manner is spontaneous, experimental and focused. 

research - Consultancy in sculptural research and reconstruction analysis for museums,  

educational, institutions and art/archaeology TV documentaries.

education - Studio based courses have included  ‘contemporary techniques of bronze cast sculpture' and for curators and conservators ‘the interpretation of archaeological relics', and ‘the making of high renaissance masterpieces’. Andrew is part of a visiting lecturer programme at Cambridge University and UCL.

Current projects include the making of didactics and handling objects for the V&A, and involvement with the Venetian Renaissance Bronzes Project.
