The distinctive freeformed animals, birds, and sea life that make up the Hoselton collection are the creation of a dedicated "family" of artisans at work in the heart of the rolling hills of Ontario's Northumberland County. The family of workers at the studio are dedicated to assisting Gord Hoselton produce a product of distinction and are artists in their own right.
To the uninitiated, the Hoselton process seems relatively simple: an original image is carved, a mould is made using a process known as sandcasting, and then a molten aluminum alloy at a temperature of 1200 degrees F is poured into the mould and allowed to cool. A long polishing process, including at least three different hand-polishing steps, gives each piece the soft, lustrous, no-tarnish finish that typifies a Hoselton sculpture.
From start to finish, from the raw ingots of aluminum to the sparkling shimmering beauty of each completed item, it is obvious that quality and pride go hand in hand at Hoselton.
