About

I Didn’t Find Bells. They Found Me.

My story began at a foundry in Kyiv, Ukraine, where we cast bells for St. Sophia’s Cathedral to mark the 1020th anniversary of the Christianization of Kyivan Rus.

Experience

Craft Built Over Time

More than two decades of hands-on experience have shaped every part of the work, from casting and tuning bells to complex tower systems and restoration. What began in Kyiv has grown into a specialized craft built on sound, precision and work made to last

01

20+ Years of Craftsmanship

More than 20 years dedicated to bell founding, sound and specialized craftsmanship. From the first foundry work in Kyiv to projects in Canada today, each new project carries forward knowledge built through years of hands-on experience.

02

500+ Bells Cast

More than 500 bells personally overseen through the casting process, from mould preparation and pouring to tuning and final sound. Each one was created for its own place, purpose and musical character.

A Defining Project at St. Sophia’s

In 2008, Sergei took part in casting 20 bronze bells for St. Sophia’s Cathedral in Kyiv, created for the 1020th anniversary of the Christianization of Kyivan Rus. The project became a turning point that led to a deeper study of bell sound, acoustics and tuning.

THE SOUND

Every Bell

Has Its Own Voice

A bell is not finished when it leaves the mould. Its sound matters just as much as its form. Each bell has its own tone, character and place within a larger harmony. And when several bells come together in harmony, that is the moment when everything comes together, and you can finally see and hear the finished work as a whole.
