Master sculptors breathe dimension to initial artwork and spend countless hours hand sculpting the modeling clay. Expert mold makers carefully break the sculpture into parts to create detailed champion molds. Each part is cast using either the lost wax or sand casting method. Artisans take the various cast parts and carefully weld them together. After several days of welding, sanding, and polishing, the metal sculpture takes its final form and the patina artists work to complete a true masterpiece.
