Hi, I am Illona

I make sculptures.

Some are made in stoneware clay (which means the clay has been fired to 1235 degrees C, so it can withstand frost.)

These are laboriously and individually made by hand, and no two are the same.

I manufacture other sculptures in bronze, which means I take a wax copy of a sculpture, and cast it in what is called "the lost wax method".  A copy of the item to be sculptured is moulded using wax, the wax sculpture is then encased in a plaster mould the wax is melted out and filled with molten bronze Each piece is slightly different and only small editions are made.
