What processes are unique to the production of a Giuseppe Armani/Florence Sculture dArte figurine?
The main component in the figurines is Kaolin, which is also the main component of porcelain. This substance produces the hardness of the finished product and creates the proper surface for the coloring and decorating process, resulting in bright and lively colors. Florence “ties” Kaolin with Resins, giving the origin to a catalyzed semi-liquid component used for their casting process. The original Armani sculpture is made of regular clay that has to be dried and fired, and a female mould will then be produced. The female mould is used to create the male “master mould.” This master mould serves the purpose of originating as many female moulds as needed for quantities to be produced (from 40 to 50 pieces depending on the details of the sculpture). The catalyzed component is then poured into the moulds until the material hardens. The moulds will then be opened and the rough pieces will be originated. Each and every one of these pieces will need to be finished by hand to eliminate mould m
