Step 1 - We start with a photograph. Although we
can use almost any quality photograph, the better the
image, the better the modeling effort. Remember, the
finished image will be an artists interpretation of
this photograph.
Step 2 - Our sculptors create a clay model of the
subject from the photograph. This is NOT a computer
generated image. It is done by a sculptor. An image
of this clay model is sent to you for your comments
or approval.
Step 3 - When approved, the clay model is used for
the bronze casting process. While the clay model is
a monotone, the finished bronze casting contains highlights
as shown on the left.
All memorial plaques shown on our web site
may be customized to meet your needs. Some plaques that
are shown with sculpted artwork are only available in the sizes
shown.
