Art Sculpture Division
Statue Design and Creation Process
Our process ensures you will receive exactly what you want, and even more.
I. Design Phase
- We work with the customer to determine the general design of the project
a. Customer can provide a picture, or several pictures
b. Our artists can do a sketch or rendering based on a written description - Based on a dialogue, we arrive at a final approved picture or sketch.
- We discuss the material and type of finish desired
- We provide the customer with exact prices and times for completion.
- Once we receive a 30% deposit, we commence work.
II. Clay Modelation Phase
- We start with carving a full-scale model in clay.
- The clay model will have all the detailed features of the final statue.
- We email the customer digital photos along the sculpting process for suggestions of
any revisions that need to be done. - Once we receive final customer approval of the clay sculpture, we then proceed to
cast it in resin, or sculpt it in marble, stone, wood, or bronze.
III. Casting Phase
- If the statue is to be made out of resin, a special mold is made of the clay sculpture
and used to cast it in resin. - Once the statue is cast, it is sanded and fine-tuned. Pictures of the cast statue are
sent to the customer to determine if any final revisions need to be made. - If the statue is to be made from wood, marble, bronze, or stone, we begin the
carving process. We send pictures along the carving process for approval prior to
proceeding.
IV. Painting Phase
- Once we receive final approval of the cast statue, it is painted. We send photos
during the painting process to get approval of colors and finishes. - Once we get final approval of the painting and finishes, we pack it for shipping.
V. Shipping Phase
- We handle all the exporting from South America, and importing into the US.
Typically, we import into the port of Miami. - We handle the customs release.
- All export and import charges are included in the price, so the only additional cost
is for the domestic freight from Miami to the customer. - Once released, we make the freight forwarding arrangements based on the specific
needs of the customer. We then send the customer the tracking details. - The time frame from initial order to delivery is typically 3-4 months.
Due to our process of keeping the customer involved in every step of the process, we can
guarantee their satisfaction in receiving exactly what they want.
