Custom Metal Molding/ Creation Help?

Hey Im looking to establish my own molds and designs. As well as Looking to make copper/ bronze statues. Looking for people/ organizations who create custom molds and even create desk ornaments from designs / stl files. Links and recommendations appreciated.
 
Long time ago I visited this place in Cochrane because they used (and were a dealer for) lots of casting related goodies for their own works. I was after flexible urethanes, casting resins, clay & such (completely unrelated to casting/foundry). Its a fascinating but specialized field but I would think they would be a good place to inquire with for information &resources. I thought they even accepted shop tours or maybe hosted art group/class or something, but I may be mistaken.

During My time as an apprentice we made moulds for injection, a lot of hours in cad and Cnc time. This leads to high prices unless you have everything already in cad files.
