Polyresin: Polyresin is a stone-based material which can be intricately molded producing great detail, and will allow paint to adhere. These items may be cleaned by dusting; however, they should not be washed with water as they are painted with water soluble paints.

Porcelain: Fine ground white clay, molded and fired in an oven for eight hours at 1200 degrees. Finished with a glazed, underglazed, or "bisque" finish. Glazing produces a high gloss; underglaze produces a matte finish. Bisque is a matte finish without glaze. After finishing, the item is "cooked" for six hours at 800 degrees.

Ceramic: Traditional ceramics are made of clay and other natural occurring materials that have been permanently hardened by firing at a high temperature.

Stoneware: White clay with fine ground stone. Working with stoneware demands great expertise, and is in fact becoming a lost art. Stoneware is safe to use in microwave and conventional ovens.

Patchwork Items: Unique fabric or paper prints are applied to the surface of porcelain, dolomite or polyresin items. After application, 12 layers of lacquer are added and the item is hand polished to a high gloss between each layer.

Giclee Print: Images are generated from high resolution digital scans and printed with archival quality inks onto various substrates including canvas, fine art, and photo-base paper.  Giclee prints are created typically using professional 8-Color to 12-Color ink-jet printers. These printers are capable of producing incredibly detailed prints for both the fine art and photographic markets. The giclee printing process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction.
