How Frogman Bronzes are Made

For artist Tim Cotterill, the shiny little frogs found in the secluded woods of his childhood in the English countryside were the beginning of a life-long fascination that has led him to be known as the Frogman. Tim’s bronze sculptures capture the whimsical character, jewel-like quality and pure joy of these beautiful little creatures.

Tim Cotterill’s collection of bronze frogs, while giving the appearance of having been made from glass, are actually incredibly heavy, having been cast in solid bronze. They are created following The Egyptian Wax Method and a 6 step process that finally results in the stunning jewel-like patina.

Limited Edition Bronze Frogs

Each Frogman bronze sculpture is individually finished, signed and numbered as part of a world-wide limited edition set. We will issue a certificate of authenticity and record the sale and limited edition details of your bronze figure as proof of your original purchase.

The Frogman Sculptures also have an individual number and signature applied to the underside of one of the feet as a permanent and easily recognisable sign of originality.

The range of the Frogman bronzes available fluctuates due to worldwide demand and in addition to the general and new releases available,  there are also special limited edition figures released solely for the UK ; frogs produced exclusively for shows and artist proof editions that are released in very low numbers to “prove the concept” in advance of a general release.

You can receive news of forthcoming special frogs and imminent releases via our newsletter… From Over The Pond….please subscribe here.
