Are these originals?

Yes. All the artwork here is original design by James C. Ardis, and all pieces are hand made, cast, painted, patinated, and finished by the artist.

All bronzes are originals, typically in limited release castings of 1 to 50.

Are they color fast? Can they go outside?

Yes. all copper pieces and panels are treated in a clear coat enamel specifically formulated for copper, which guantees to block UV, rain, wind, and most other elements for ten to fifty years, even with full exposure. They won't bleed on your structure or change color. We've tested it pretty thoroughly, and we stand behind all work.

What are they made of?

Wall hanging pieces are 100% sheet copper, with enameled steel frame attached behind for strength. Painted panel pieces are industrial grade treated signboard with acrylic, jacketed by sheet copper.

All classical bronzes are solid silicon bronze, patinaed and waxed for durability.
