Object Atelier
I'm an Interior Designer, do you offer trade discounts to design professionals?
Absolutely, I love working with Interior Designers, Art Advisors & those in the hospitality industry. Please Contact me with your company information and website.
I own a boutique, do you sell wholesale?
Unfortunately, I do not sell wholesale, but I'm open to speaking with you about adjusting my prices to fit within your resale price depending on the quantity you are looking to purchase.
Can I order only one sculpture?
Absolutely, you can order any quantity!
Will I receive the exact sculptures I see on your website?
No, unlike creating a master mold, each sculpture is individually sculpted and cast as a one off, truly making them one of a kind. Please expect some size and imprint variations. Height and diameter may vary from 1/2”to 1", as well imprint features. The pressure and depth that I use to imprint the clay will always vary, as well as the subtle indentations, folds & grooves which are marks created from my hands forming and sculpting the clay prior to casting which I’ve chosen not to smooth out, but to keep in each sculpture, I feel it is these marks that show the handcrafted nature and gives each sculpture it's unique character and makes them feel special and collected.
I'm preparing the details for my wedding and would like to order 50 of the same sculpture to set atop our place settings and give as gifts to our guests, will they all look the same? And, can I receive a discount?
Congratulations on your special day! No, they will not all look the same, similar yes, but unlike creating a master mold, each sculpture is individually sculpted and cast as a one off, truly making them one of a kind. You can expect some size and imprint variations. Height and diameter may vary from 1/2”to 1", as well imprint features. The pressure and depth that I use to imprint the clay will always vary, as well as the subtle indentations, folds & grooves which are marks created from my hands forming and sculpting the clay prior to casting which I’ve chosen not to smooth out, but to keep in each sculpture, I feel it is these marks that show the handcrafted nature and gives each sculpture it's unique character and makes them feel special and collected, which I'm sure your guests will appreciate. My suggestion would be to purchase two or three sculptures so that you can see the subtle variations prior to ordering a large quantity.
Yes, you can receive a discount on that quantity, please message me through my Contact form.
What is your lead time?
That depends on the quantity ordered. Each sculpture takes approximately two weeks to sculpt, cast, cure and complete all the final details. I’m happy to work with you to try and accommodate your timeline.
Are your sculptures sealed?
Yes, and no. I use a far superior plaster to standard plaster of Paris, and while I do not seal the sculptures as a whole, I do seal the bottoms. There can be a slight chalky feel and a light residue left on the surface the sculptures are placed on, even after sealing. I find that raw feeling quite nostalgic and authentic to historic relics. You can take a white microfiber cloth to wipe the surface should there be any residue left behind.
My company is hosting a brand event, do you offer custom monograms on your sculptures?
Yes, I love collaborating on custom sculptures! You can email me at objectatelierco@gmail.com with the design for me to review to make sure I am able to create the correct scale to fit on the surface on my sculptures.
I own a boutique, do you offer custom logos on your sculptures?
Yes, I love to collaborate! You can email me objectatelierco@gmail.com your design and I will let you know if I feel it will leave a good impression in the clay and is a good fit for casting.
Will my sculpture come with a hole on the back for hanging as I've seen on your Instagram page?
No, I only drill a hole on the back if you request it when you place your order.
