Mindblowing Sculptures


The Grizzly Bear

This beautiful masterpiece is a creation by team members of the Robert Harrop Designs LTD. Matt Buckley, creative director of Harrop Designs, began his career in sculpting 20 years ago. The company was first established by his step-father, Robert Harrop. Buckley began his career doing the same thing his step father enjoyed doing. 

This sculpture is made 100% out of clay. It was designed by an image of a picture then transformed into a 3D masterpiece made of clay. A sturdy fixture is used to support the weight of the wet clay that is used for the sculpture. Then, the sculpture is molded and when hardened it is cut and casted with a marble resin. When that step is completed, any unwanted lines and residue are removed with the use of drills or knives. The final step involves painting.

This sculpture is one of many beautiful pieces designed by the Robert Harrop Designs LTD. The fact that this is made out of clay is remarkable. The eyes, nose, teeth and the tongue are well defined. When I look at this sculpture, I do not only see a grizzly bear; I see dedication, hard work, effective time management and most of all I see passion. I see passion in every line and angle. This is a beautiful sculpture.
