The
key to the success of our Sculpture Service is in our craftsmen. Just
ask any sculptor, museum, or gallery. They are dependent on the professional
experience of our craftsmen to achieve the high quality results they need.
All of our craftsmen, using both time-tested and state-of-the-art techniques
and equipment, serve an intensive apprenticeship with our senior staff.
Each person is foundry-trained in all the newest methods and materials.
And while most of our staff have 10 to 25 years on the job, we continue
to develop new talent with our Apprentice-lntern Program.
Enlarging
Using various techniques, we've enlarged hundreds of sculptures, including

"Maenad" at 24'.
