    So. My husband surprised me with this for our first anniversary. I’d bugged him – repeatedly – to cast our hands: in wax, in plaster – I didn’t care. I just wanted this romantic little trinket to stick on a shelf and look at. But I was woefully uneducated in this medium. I had not considered that this is Florida – and wax melts. Plaster crumbles. Enter Sean of Garman Sculpture Works. This sculpture is neither wax nor plaster, but some sort of futuristic stone creation that tings like metal if you flick it (but don’t – it hurts.) – and that will last a lifetime. It’s a masterpiece to pass down the generations (and believe you me, my kids will be getting these hands, and they will like it.) Sean is funny and engaging. He spends time explaining the process and showing his clients some of his finished pieces that set in the gallery. He walks you through the molding process with humor and good natured ribbing. The sculpture is not inexpensive – but please keep in mind that you are commissioning a work of art and that the price is reflected in the quality of the piece. The detail is immaculate. I was struck upon holding it, that my husband’s sculpted hand feels like my husband’s actual hand. It is eerily perfect. This is a gift – and experience – I will keep with me for a lifetime. Thank you, Sean!

    I was searching for something interesting to do in my area (on google maps), and Garman Sculpture Works popped up as the first thing, and I clicked it and thought, This would be the perfect gift for my partner who's birthday is in a month. I easily booked the appointment online through Garman's website, which was extremely easy. Got a confirmation back, I think that day, and a follow up reminder the day or so before the appointment. Arrived early to take a look at the studio and speak with the artist Sean, who was incredible. Funny, knowledgeable and completely thorough on how the process works. Point by point he explained everything. Sean was such a great guy that my partner and I felt like we were already with an old friend. And did I mention funny? He's hysterical. We don't pick up our finished piece for 4 weeks or so but the molding process was such an incredible experience, I already want to do another, without even seeing the finished one. For something completely unique to do as well as your own personal sculpture... this is hands down (pun intended) one of the best things I've found of the Internet. Thank you Sean. You're the best!

    Sean was an excellent host! Very friendly, engaging and humorous. His demeanor immediately made my wife and I very comfortable and we felt very welcomed. He took his time to explain our options, pricing and the procedure itself. He gave us numerous opportunities to ask questions and was glad to answer the few that we had. We'd highly recommend him and Garman Sculpture Works to anyone looking for a unique experience and a piece of personal art.

    Outstanding experience! Sean was great! Professional and personable. The studio is simple and clean. It only takes about 30 min total! We got the most simple base with the bronze finish and had it shipped to New York. The total cost was $500. It took about 2 months to arrive. We feel like the quality was worth it! The detail is surprising! We plan to have this forever and it will be fun to compare to our "old" hands some day. Highly recommend!

    I surprised my hubby and take him to have our hands sculpted, this was the best thing I have ever done. From the mommy we step our feet in the shop Sean was amazing until the time of pick up. We love our sculpture, thank you so much we will definitely be back for a family one. Keep on the great work.

    This was a one of a kind experience! Sean is an amazing artist and has a great sense of humor. Jamie is also a wonderful young man. This experience is not just about having a lifetime mold made it's about feeling good and laughter. Its an overall experience. Thank you Sean. You have an amazing gift not only with your art but with your heart💜. I would recommend Garman Sculptures to All! Can't wait to see the final work of art. Thanks again guys! Keep making amazing art👏🤝👌

    From start to finish, it was an amazing experience. Prior to the appointment, Sean sent clear and detailed instructions and information regarding what was needed and what to expect. When we arrived at the time of our appointment, he was ready to show us what we needed to do and guided us throughout the whole process. He provided us with all the options for how we wanted to customize our sculpture, from our hand positioning down to the finish. Sean made the experience fun and we had a great time. It takes 4-6 weeks for him to fully complete the sculpture, but the wait was worth it. It came out better than we expected, with exquisite detail. Garman Sculpture Works is highly recommended!

    Sean is the best! For my first wedding anniversary, my parents got my husband and I a gift certificate for Garman Sculpture Works and we went to get our sculpture made Thanksgiving weekend, a few weeks ago. #1: Sean has been doing this type of work and working with the various materials used for years, so he is extremely knowledgeable. #2: Sean makes the process of making your sculpture SUPER EASY. He gives very simple, yet detailed instructions to prep you before, during, and after the sculpture is made. #3: Sean has a killer sense of humor! :) He had us laughing the whole time and made the experience incredibly fun! I would definitely recommend Garman Sculpture Works to anyone who wants to have a great experience and is looking for a unique keepsake.

    Surprised my Wife for our 6 year anniversary... From start to finish, this was an awesome experience. Sean is definitely fun to be around and kept us comfortable and laughing even with our 7 month old screaming most of the time lol. We chose a pretty awkward pose in which was not easy for any of us haha. Probably made Seans job very difficult during the casting process but he pulled it off flawlessly. Our sculpture is now the centerpiece in our living room. The detail is absolutely incredible. Sean, thanks again!
