Learn all about the unique artistic concept that gives you the possibility to think (from the start and without any further obligation) together with the artists about your perfect (figurative) garden statue.

Every art work is made out of stainless steel and extremely hard stoneware. Thickness of the stoneware layers : 20mm to 25mm! On top off that they undergo a special treatment against frost and other extreme weather conditions.

Step 1

First, every statue is in detail made out of clay. When this is finished, the parts that go into the kiln (1150°C) are carefully removed.

Step 3

The small oval stainless steel plates are carefully welded together, like a tightly fitting cloth, over the rest of the ‘body’ of the original clay statue. When this is finshed, the dried clay is removed.

Step 4

After that I remove all the welding sparks and other impurities. (The finished stainless steel ‘coat’ goes into an acid bath to restore the rust free properties.)

Step 5

Once the different parts are assembled, the statue is ready for transportation to your garden or any other location.

With this process it is impossible to make multiple copies of a statue. So you are absolutely sure that you have a unique work of art!
