So, if you have an interest in enlarging the piece, buy the maquette now to preserve the opportunity to enlarge at a later date. Only the owner of the maquette will have the ability to obtain the Rights to Enlarge - for an additional fee - at any time. NOTE: Purchase of the maquette does not automatically include the Rights to Enlarge the sculpture. Insurance and tracking number is included. The sculpture will be shipped in a sturdy, well-cushioned box. The maquette measures 12-inches high by 4-inches wide by 4-inches deep. It will come with a thick marble base to sit on.
As the maquette it makes a very nice desk top sculpture. Solid cast aluminum.Įnlarged, this would make a very nice sculpture in front of a tall building. This geometric, architectural piece was originally designed as a maquette (model) to be used as the 3D blueprint to build a monumental sculpture, but I am offering it now as desk top art. If you see a good product or have a blog you would like to share let us know about it on our FB page, we’re also happy for article and review submissions, we’d love to hear from you.BEST GIRL FRIENDS - an abstract sculpture by Richard Arfsten.

The flax seed oil creates a hard and durable base to build further seasoning upon as your pan ages. The skillets spend about 3 hours in the oven per coat to fully cure the oil. The skillets are then finished with 4 coats of baked on flax seed oil. This process results in a pan that is ready to use right out of the box with no further seasoning necessary, it also creates a seasoned base that is more durable and less likely to break down over time.
This etching microscopically erodes the surface grain of the iron, creating a “micro pitting” that provides a much better surface for the oil to adhere. Since the inside of our skillets are extremely smooth, we found it necessary to use Greg Blonder’s etching recipe to better prepare the surface so that the seasoning oil can stick.Īfter the skillets are cast they are soaked in a recipe of hydrogen peroxide and sulfuric acid for a short period of time. Our testing and research shows that flax has among the best properties of any seasoning oil option. We decided to turn this technical problem into a feature by finishing each pan with 4 coats of baked on flax seed oil. Also, if not done properly, the “pre-seasoning” oil can lift during use, making for a very poor base for future seasoning. One coat of vegetable oil will solve that problem, but makes for a very bad “seasoning”. Bryce Dallas Howard and Seth Gabel will star in the upcoming first-person recursive puzzle game that takes players into a world where every building, plant, and object are simultaneously tiny and. Keeping the pans from rusting after manufacturing is a problem that any cast iron manufacturer needs to address. We use investment casting for our 8″ and 10″ skillets, but due to its size the 12″ is cast in sand molds then milled. We discovered that by using a process called Investment casting (lost wax) that the wall sections could be thinner and the finished product would be much smoother on ALL surfaces – just like the vintage pans. Casting in sand and then milling is one way to reduce weight, but it introduces an imperfect secondary process and can’t correct every surface of the pan. Modern foundries are not equipped to achieve the desired wall thickness or surface finish with typical sand casting.
Middle: Unseasoned iron in the front, seasoned skillet in the back. Left: Investment cast skillets being created. The objects on view here are bronze casts of the plaster originals. We also designed our cooking surface to hold the seasoning better than any other skillet, so that it requires re-seasoning less often. Neri created these nine maquettes, with Mary Julia Klimenko as his model. This is what drove us to create an industry leading seasoning process, so each pan is ready to use right out of the box. In order to make cast iron cookware more convenient, we knew it needed to be sold completely seasoned and ready to use, not just lightly coated to prevent rusting like some manufacturers. Lighter cookware is easier to handle and clean. This is why reducing the weight of the cookware was one of our main design goals. The weight of cast iron is one of the biggest drawbacks to the material. Our goal was to bring back the vintage quality and add some aspects that would make our pans easier to use. We decided to develop our skillets because none of the current manufacturers have created a product that can replicate the quality of the vintage pans.
