I’m Adam and welcome to my shop. I work with plaster castings made from waterstone and gilding with gold and metal leaf. Look around and let me know if you have any questions for me! Want a custom finish on a casting? Send me a message!
Heavier and better for the environment than epoxy or jesmonite, these castings are made from water stone aka dental/orthodontic plaster. Super strong plaster but will obviously chip or small limbs can break if you drop it on something harder like concrete or marble. The limited editions are gilded in house by hand by me in a one-human shop. Water gilding includes 4-6 precoats of sealer and fond or bole clay and an adhesive then gilding is done using loose leaf gold or silver leaf then a top coat is added. Or sometimes in small runs I’ll do a bedazzling and glitter the castings, and they’re also available in raw if you just like the natural water stone finish, I have alabaster, golden brown, golden, terra cotta, and any number of mica powder designs and various marbling techniques are applied but if you feel like playing around and have something in mind feel free to reach out!
8” curvy statues weigh around 4lbs so they’re very hefty and will outlive you easily but as they’re pop art need to be treated as art and keep it clean and undropped, in a stylish spot of your home or apartment!
