Group Hug!

Using traditional sculpting techniques, Jay Rotberg creates a timeless homage to the tight-knit bonds of family. The artist's emotive pieces are originally sculpted out of wax then cast in bronze and then recast using bonded resins. He finishes each sculpture with a traditional verdigris patina, a technique used to preserve sculptures since antiquity. Featuring parents and two children in a tight embrace, this work of heart makes a powerful statement about the unconditional devotion we have to those we love. Handmade in the artist's studio in Greensboro, North Carolina.

      kids love it

      from Las Vegas, NV

      Verified Buyer

      Comments about UncommonGoods Hugs for All:

      I bought a "HUG" statue for my kids. It is perfect as they have 2 kids so the 2 hugging children around 2 hugging parents fit perfectly. It is a well made, wooden piece of sculpture that should last them a lifetime. It just couldn't have been a more appropriate gift.
