01 / THE CRAFT
Portraiture, beyond the photograph
Every face holds a story.
We sculpt the details that tell it.

Built by hand in digital clay, with every plane and expression considered.

05 / QUESTIONS
Before we begin
Thoughtful answers,
before the first detail.
What photographs work best?+
Clear, well-lit photographs from the front, profile and three-quarter view give the strongest likeness. Older or imperfect photographs can still work—we will advise you before accepting the commission.
Can you sculpt someone who has passed away?+
Yes. Memorial portraits are approached with particular care and discretion. We can work from a small collection of family photographs and will guide you on which references are most useful.
How long does a commission take?+
Most portraits are completed in 3–4 weeks from approval of the brief. Complex multi-figure pieces may take longer. Your timeline is confirmed before the studio slot is reserved.
Will I approve the sculpture before it is printed?+
Yes. You receive a digital likeness preview before printing and one considered revision round is included. Painting begins only after the sculpt is approved.
Do you ship internationally?+
Yes. Finished work is securely packed and sent with tracked, insured delivery. Shipping is quoted separately according to destination.
Made from memory. Kept for generations.
