About the artist

Andrew Werby

Andrew Werby, born in 1952, started making ceramic sculpture while in elementary school. At the University of California at Berkeley, he started becoming involved in the technique of lost-wax bronze casting. The ability of molds to capture sculpturally significant information from natural objects was a cause of particular fascination. Borrowing specimens from the paleontology, anthropology, and geology departments of the University, he made a series of molds, which became the nucleus of a mold library representing hundreds of natural objects. From these first molds, wax casts were made, then combined into composite creations which were cast in bronze and aluminum. Since receiving his design degree in 1974, he has continued to pursue further applications of this idea, producing sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, holograms, architectural hardware, computer graphics, and various art objects in this “juxtamorphic” style. In an effort to fill a perceived need for an all-around custom sculpture service, Andrew Werby founded United Artworks in 1986. United Artworks offers a range of choices in material and technique, and specializes in solving real-world problems with style and grace.
