About the Mixed Media Sculptures 🐎

All my horse sculptures are painstakingly hand-made without molds. Each is individually constructed using lightweight clay or paper over a strong and complex armature that allows for delicate details, but provides maximum strength for the sculpture to withstand transport and handling.

The primary material is a museum-grade Japanese clay, selected for its strength and archival properties. Surface decoration are of the highest artist quality and selected for their lightfastness and superiority.

Each sculpture is finished with a sealer to intensify colours and ensure it is protected from UV rays. Only the finest quality materials have been used to produce your sculpture, and proper care will ensure it lasts a lifetime.

 

Sculpture Care 🥰

Ceramic Sculpture - While my ceramic sculptures don't require special care, I recommend keeping them indoors to ensure longevity.

Mixed Media Sculpture - To maintain your mixed media sculpture dust it regularly with a soft, dry brush. An artist paint brush or new blush brush are ideal. Do not use water. Display you sculpture at stable room temperature and humidity, and away from direct sunlight or water.

Glass display cases and cabinets are the simplest solution for protecting and displaying fine art sculpture. It's best to use latex/vinyl gloves when handling a sculpture to prevent fingerprints being left on it.
