Every Sleepy Gorgon sculpture piece is lovingly hand-made by human hands (not gorgon-frozen, we promise). The process begins with a clay master sculpt, which is then molded in silicone and cast using a strong gypsum cement.

Using gypsum cement (otherwise known as plaster), our statues have the strength to stand or hang as a display piece, while also retaining the fine details captured by the molding process. The end result is a finished texture that looks and feels like stone. Plaster is technically calcined gypsum — that is, gypsum that has undergone a dehydration process that, when re-hydrated, bonds together and cures to a solid rock-hard state. We source our plaster powder and casting materials from U.S. manufacturers, and every item for sale in our shop is handmade from beginning to end.
