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. A time honored tradition of sitting for a portrait bust recognizes accomplishment like no other piece of art. Terracotta busts last for generations and eventually become collectible works of figurative sculpture. 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. Marble has a living presence and delicacy like no other material while bronze has a permanence and solidity.
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 1-2 weeks, the clay will have to be dried for approximately a month and then fired in a kiln. Once fired a patina can be applied to achieve your desired finish on the fired piece, now called a terra cotta sculpture. Contact the studio from the "contact" link above for more details.
