FAQs

Your frogs are so bright. Are those real frog colors?Frogs are a colorful bunch! As in the rest of nature, often the poison species have the most dramatic coloration. (See some examples on Wikipedia, here.) So yes, in 99% of cases, the colors of Barry's bronze frogs are those of real frogs.

What process is used to create your bronze sculptures?Barry Stein's bronze sculptures are created using the lost wax casting method. (Read about it here on Wikipedia, or watch an explanatory video from a bronze foundry here.) Unlike most bronze sculptors, though, Barry begins by creating his figures in wood rather than wax or clay, because wood yields finer detail.

Large sculptures are protected in crates built specifically to protect each sculpture. The crates are created from 2"x 2" or 2" x 4" lumber and plywood, which is cushioned and wrapped with foam, so the crate and its contents are secure even if turned over. Shipment is made via UPS. And of course, all sculptures are sent insured.
