Since 1972 the Beckerman family has operated Starlite Originals in Los Angeles, California. There original vision of creating the World’s finest contemporary hand crafted works of sculpted art for collectors and art aficionados continues today. Over the years they have pushed the boundries of art and have pioneered and perfected the technique of embeding mixed media bronze and pewter sculptures in Lucite. This proprietary technique has allowed artist to infuse gravity and motion into there unique creations. Award winning sculptors such as Christopher Pardell, Kitty Cantrell and Dan Medina are part of the Starlite Family of Artist. The Making of a Starlite Originals Sculpture The original sculpture is delivered to the foundry by the artist in the form of plasticine. Working models are created from the originals by Starlite master mold makers. In the old world tradition, the master mold is then created. Once the mold is complete, molten metal is poured into the cavities in the mold and left to cool to room temperature. Each part is then removed from the mold, cleaned, assembled, and hand tooled until it looks exactly as the artist created it. The sculpture then goes through numerous metal plating and patina application steps, completing the Mixed Media process. Watch our video to see the step by step process of how our pieces are made.
