Portland, Oregon sculptor Jason Jones produces clay portrait sculpture to create images of life. Sincerity and a faithfulness to the heart and soul of the subject brings the clay to life. Portrait busts are available in terracotta, marble and bronze. Portraits are typically made from life and with the help of photos and drawings but memorial portrait sculpture must be made from family photos. Portrait sculpture is not like a photograph capturing a real life image of you. It is an interpretation of the inner you by the artist.
Portraits in clay can be produced in marble or bronze.
A finished and fired clay portrait sculpture can cost anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending upon size, finishes and level of detail. You can come to the studio or submit photos if ordering a commemorative piece. After completion of the modeling, usually a few weeks, the clay will have to be dried and fired in a kiln. Once fired color can be applied to achieve your desired finish on the fired piece, now called a terra cotta sculpture, or the bust can be glazed.
