Custom Statues & Sculptures

Sculpture here covers every material and setting.

• Wood: carvings from small pieces to life-size dog carvings.
• Stone and concrete: marble and concrete statues.
• Metal: welded and recycled-metal garden sculpture, and copper and bronze wire trees.
• Glass: blown-glass pieces and fused glass sculpture.

For the desk or a shelf, there are kinetic rolling-ball sculptures and tabletop glass. For the garden, there are statues, water features and metal sculpture. Religious statues and memorial pieces, including a fused glass portrait made as a memorial, round out the range.

What sets the price

A listing's price is usually a starting point, and prices here span a wide range: one in ten is priced under $100, half fall between about $275 and $4,250, the median is near $830, and one in ten is priced above $13,000. Size, material, the time a piece takes and installation set the price of a commission.

Before you start

• Where it will live: indoors, on a desk, in a garden, near water, or at a memorial site.
• The size, and what it will stand on.
• The material, or ask the maker to suggest one for the setting.
• For a portrait or memorial piece, clear photographs from several angles.
• How it will be delivered and installed, and who does it.

Describe the sculpture with the materials, size, budget and date you have in mind, and makers who do this work send proposals. You pay a 50% deposit on the one you approve, see the finished sculpture by photos, video call or studio visit, and pay the balance once you approve it; Maker Marketplace holds that payment while it ships.
