It has been over 20 years since brothers Gord and Carl Hoselton first developed the aluminum casting process that makes their sculptures so unique. Their work has been presented to Heads of State, Prime Ministers, the Archbishop of Canterbury and even Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Hoselton sculptures have also been presented as gifts on behalf of the Canadian government.
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.

| Hoselton in Gold | | We are excited to add some new items featuring hand finished 24-carat gold plating. How about a gold apple for that favourite teacher?
Each item starts out as an original shiny aluminum sculpture as in our regular collection. The item is then 24-carat gold plated in full or in combination with the standard shiny aluminum finish. See description of each piece. Cleaning of each piece is the same as for our regular shiny aluminum items - a soft cloth will do the job! Note: due to additional hand work, please allow three weeks for Hoselton in Gold items to be shipped from the studio.

| Marble Polar Bears | | Beautiful hand carved bears created lovingly by Shawn Hoselton, grandson of co-founder Gord Hoselton. Shawn enjoys working with the raw boulders of marble to carry on the tradition his grandfather started many years ago. Using the same techniques, he sculpts the bears as if they are just “stepping out” of the marble into life. The one of a kind, signed original bears are excellent gifts for recognition, executive or service awards. These bears will become favorites among personal collections. | |
