HOLTKAMP FINE ART BRONZE:
HOLTKAMP Fine Art Bronze was established in 1995 to create personalized cremation urns that represent and celebrate a life lived. This led to the ultimate personalization, a memorial portrait urn created in the likeness of a loved one. This still is the main focus of HOLTKAMP Fine Art Bronze.
HOLTKAMP Fine Art Bronze also creates commissioned sculptures for government as well as for the corporate and public sectors.
Classes are held in modelling both the portrait and the figure, in mold making and in casting and HOLTKAMP Fine Art Bronze also performs demonstrations and holds workshops. Country: Canada Galleries: EXHIBITIONS
