Description

Our composite sculptures are highly durable, as they are fairly resistant to breakage. For the casting process, we use a resin print to create our molds. The epoxy sculptures are cast and finished in our workshop.

Advantages

• Durability: Epoxy is a robust material that can withstand bumps and falls, although not as indestructible as bronze. While epoxy sculptures may not shatter as easy as printed statues do, it’s possible for pieces to chip off, such as from the arms or neck.
• Look and Feel: Holding an epoxy sculpture feels distinctly different from holding one made of resin.
• Unique Character: Each epoxy sculpture has its own unique appearance and story due to the artisanal casting process.
• Color Variation: No two sculptures have the exact same color and goldleaf concentation. While we find this characteristic appealing, it’s important for your customer to be aware of it.

Disadvantages

• Color Variation: No two epoxy sculptures have the exact same color. While we consider this a significant advantage, not everyone may share this opinion.
• Imperfections: “Her imperfections are what make her perfect.” Epoxywill always exhibit small cracks, bubbles, and holes. Keep in mind that no epoxy sculpture is entirely transparent.
• Visible Processing Marks: Processes like milling and sanding can sometimes leave visible marks on the surface of the epoxy sculpture, contributing to its handmade character, but this may be a consideration for some individuals. A visible seam from the mold making process may slightly be present.
• Diversity in Detail: Since each casting is unique and each sculpture requires its own specific gating channels, the level of detail may vary between different sculptures. If preserving all details is crucial for your customer, epoxy may not be the optimal choice.

Ensure that your customer can examine the examples closely during appointments so they can gain a clear understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of an epoxy sculpture.
