SERVICES
ORIGINAL ART AND DESIGN
Artiniums Design Inc provides a variety of design services for original art, public and site specific installations
ENLARGING
Artiniums Design Inc does digital enlarging from artists models. By scanning a small model, also known as a maquette, to create a digital file, then using that file to drive a CNC router, we are able to carve any size enlargement in a foam block. This captures the proportion and some of the detail and transfers it to the enlargement. Clay is then applied to the surface of the enlargement and all of the original detail is restored. .
BASING
Artiniums Design Inc can assist in the all important presentation of your sculpture by helping you design mounts or bases to enhance the look of your work. We provide wood, stone, fabricated and cast bases with custom mounting systems for interior and exterior installations.
MOLDS
A well designed mold sets the stage for the entire process, a good mold leads to a good wax which in turn produces good metal. We use a variety of flexible and ridged mold systems. Urethane for high fidelity complex shorter runs, silicone for long storage life and excellent fidelity, latex or urethane for concrete. Traditional plaster piece molds for museum display or demonstration.
WAX CASTING
Your sculpture's surface integrity is of the highest priority. Artiniums uses clean, top of the line microcrystalline casting waxes that have exceptional reproduction qualities. Our wax chasers strive to perfectly reproduce your original surface. We request artist approval of all waxes.
INVESTMENT
Each unique casting situation requires a different process. We offer 2-part ceramic shell for museum quality castings and sand for simple flat patterns. Sand casting or other alloys are done in our associate foundry. Ask us which is best for your work.
FOUNDRY
We cast exclusively in the highest quality Silicon Bronze resulting in strong easily maintained castings with beautiful uniform patinas. Not all foundries use the same high quality metal which can result in brittle or porous castings.
