Pretty Lady Figurines

| "I like thought of taking a bunch of parts from lots of little moulds and putting together like a three dimensional jigsaw puzzle... says Bev. It is the 'fittings' the blocker makes which make all the difference to how difficult or easy my job is". |
The stick up person is a 'bone china figurine maker' in the truest sense of the word - one slip and the piece might have to be discarded.
It is precise skills like this which have been handed down from generation to generation.
The block maker cuts and destroys the sculpture in order to make moulds, the sticker-upper makes everything OK again.
"This is just how the figurines used to be made in the good old days."
Obviously, only the stick-up operatives with the steadiest hands are allowed to work on our lady figurines.
By the time all the various complex elements have been completed to our satisfaction, the figure has passed through an estimated 40 pairs of hands (see our article here).

"The Hands Who Have The Special Touch"
The Quest for Perfection
The creation of any new ceramic figurine of a long and highly technical process, not to mention the artistic decisions constantly made along the way in the quest for perfection.Because, uniquely at The Figurine Collective, our sculptors have control of every stage of development of their figurine – their original ideas and vision can be expressed as closely as possible. There is a constant reassessment of the design at the early stages of development of our lady figurines – a constant ‘tweaking’ and testing of colours and finishes in the attempt to get as close to perfection as possible.
