  • Model creation

    Whether from photos or a 3D printed scan, it all starts with sculpting the model that will be used to make the mold.

  • Mold making

    Plaster molds are made from the sculpture. Depending on the piece, the mold is more or less complex: 2 or more parts.

  • Casting and cleaning

    Earth is poured into the mold. When the thickness is ideal, the surplus is emptied. The piece can then be removed from the mold and cleaned.

  • Firing the pieces

    When the piece is dry, it is fired a first time. The result is a ceramic bisque ready for decoration.

  • Decorations

    Decorations are created using engobe (pigmented clay) or glaze (transparent or colored glass layer), as close as possible to the originals.

  • Finishes

    Depending of the piece, return to the kiln before finish: base, wax, patina, etc. to give a unique historic look. The piece is finished and packaged.
