sculptures and glass

We always have a small collection of outstanding and unique sculptures and glassware, often limited editions and produced by leading modern artists.

All are handcrafted using the finest materials appropriate to each particular piece, be it bronze, bronze resin or hand painted resins.

Bronze

A bronze is an original piece of artwork, individually cast and made using the Lost Wax Process. A normal edition run for a bronze sculpture is between 1 and 8. However, each piece is classed as an original bronze, due to the individual way it is made:

Glass

Top publishers are now producing exciting glass for the modern interior with an emphasis on creative design and skilled craftsmanship, often working together with the artists’ designs to make innovative glassware giving a more sculptural edge to the collections.

Each piece is hand-blown and made using a variety of both traditional and modern techniques.

Hand painted resin

Resin is the most popular material used in creating contemporary sculpture reproductions. As with Bronze Resin, the artist’s original sculpture forms the basis for mould making and from this mould the raw resin sculptures are produced. In an entire edition many moulds are used as the quality deteriorates upon use.

The raw resin begins its finishing process with refining and finally the important hand painting. The artist creates a master model indicating their desire for colouring, toning and shadowing. The painting of the raw resin can then begin by a team of experts who emulate exactly the artist’s desire.

The finished piece is often lacquered and polished prior to its presentation.

Ceramic

The translation of great art onto ceramics adds another dimension to the reproduction of paintings and the accessibility of our artist in differing medias.

Ceramic plates, bowls and sculpture prove fantastic items for the artist to work with or to have their imagery featured upon.

The artists work in studios with clays and glazes to achieve individual results ­ the personality of their particular art can be continued through ceramic and pottery.

Colours and glazes complete the transition of the artist idea into the final item. Many artists enjoy the texture of clay to interpret what is commonly revealed on canvas or paper.
