Fees
Ceramic
or bronze sculpture
Sculpture
can be ordered in plated or glazed ceramic, in lost wax cast
bronze, or in cast granite. The main differences between
these three mediums is that ceramic produces a one of a kind
sculpture that is breakable. Cast granite is a hard material
(used to make high end counter tops) and is very sturdy,
although it can break if dropped. Cast bronze is considerably
more expensive to produce and results in a virtually indestructible
sculpture of molten metal.
Additional
copies can be made at a substantially reduced cost since
the modeling and moldmaking for these will have already been
done for the first copy. You may also order additional granite
copies (for your office perhaps, or to give as gifts) of
a piece that was molded for bronze.
Prices
for custom work vary greatly (from $2,500 to $50,000+) and
will increase with size (available from 1/3 to 2X scale),
material (ceramic, cold cast, or bronze) and complexity.
Inclusions can consist of head and neck, upper chest, full
body, two individuals in one piece, or the inclusion of a
pet, doll, or piece of furniture.
Hardwood
bases are standard, but marble, granite, or rotating bases
can be ordered. Dog portraits are available as well and price
will depend on material, size, complexity, and inclusions.

your most ambitious project.
Payment
Info:
I request a 1/3 initial deposit (non-refundable) to begin, 1/3 upon approval
of the clay model, and the final 1/3 at the time the piece is ready to ship
or hand deliver (local clients). During the creation process, I'll send digital
photos for your review and approval and I will not send a piece
to be cast until I obtain approval from you to do so.
Note: There
is currently a waiting list to begin any new commissions.
