Portraits, Emblems & Logos for Cast Plaques
Virtually any artwork (portrait, places, event, emblem, seal, logo or crest) can be cast in one of two ways: flat relief or bas-relief.
Flat-Relief
An economical alternative to a bas-relief, this method begins with a black & white rendering of the subject. Once approved, a photopolymer pattern is produced. A raised image, two-level metal casting is manufactured and applied to the cast plaque.
Line details are raised to the same height as the raised copy. Flat reliefs are suitable for exterior and interior applications.
Portraits
Minimum size for best quality cast portraits is 6" from chin to crown.
Bas-Relief
A premium reproduction, our sculptors model a dimensional, low relief clay sculpture of the subject Once the clay sculpture is approved, a sand mold is made and a cast metal version is produced. The cast bas-relief is handfinished and mechanically attached to the plaque background. While most commonly associated with portraits, bas-reliefs are also effective for depicting buildings seals, historical vignettes and many logos.
Bas-relief are suitable for interior or exterior applications.
Portraits
Minimum size for best quality cast portraits is 6" from chin to crown.
