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 (also called plaster).

These 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.

(And now for some sciency bits) -- Plaster is calcined gypsum, which is mined mineral gypsum that has undergone a dehydration/heating process. When re-hydrated, it bonds together and cures to a solid rock-hard state.

The plaster powder and casting materials that we use are sourced from U.S. manufacturers, and every item for sale in the shop is handmade from beginning to end.
