Forms for Concrete Statuary
- Concrete statuary can add a defining touch to your house or garden. Concrete's versatility allows you to use it to create a wide range of shapes of varying degrees of detail--from the very simple to the painstakingly intricate. As might be imagined, the range of molds for concrete statuary is quite broad.
- There are a number of companies that offer molds for concrete statuary, which means that you can choose according to your budget and taste. Texas Tradition Molds, for example, offers a wide selection from architectural molds such as pillars, benches and trash cans, to fountains and angels and more. Another company is Concrete Jungle, whose selection runs the gamut from dragons to wishing wells.
- You can create your own molds by forming them out of clay, plaster or wax. You can use found objects, such as five-gallon buckets and other containers that are waxed or oiled to allow them to be removed after the concrete hardens.
- Free-form concrete statuary is another way to create statuary that allows you create things without having to rely on pre-made forms. To do this kind of statuary, you make a wire frame and apply cement plaster in layer after layer, until you create the shape you wish.
