Can we visit your workshop before placing an order?

Of course! Our workshop is open to all customers who wish to visit. If you make an appointment, you can see our working processes on-site, meet our sculptor and team, and examine ongoing projects. Workshop visits help our customers better understand the value of handcraftsmanship. You also have the opportunity to discuss your project face-to-face. You can make an appointment through our contact page, and we can invite you to our workshop at a time that suits you best.

What happens if I change my mind at a certain stage of the sculpture?

During the clay stage, meaning before the outer layer is completed, we can discuss your change requests. We will incorporate these requests into the work if possible. However, once the casting, patination, or finishing stages have begun, structural changes are not possible because each stage has been carefully planned and executed. That's why we regularly share visuals with you during the production process. This way, you stay informed at every stage and can be sure it's progressing in the direction you want.

Do you accept multiple orders at the same time?

Yes, we can work on three sculptures simultaneously in our workshop. When we include our students' own projects, this number can increase to five. We approach each project with the same dedication and quality. During busy periods, we work according to priority order, but we never compromise on quality. If our workshop is fully booked during that period, we will provide you with clear information about the waiting time. We are transparent with our customers about the start date and estimated delivery time for their project.

Is your sculptor actively involved in every project?

Absolutely yes. Our sculptor plays an active role in every project from start to finish. He arrives at the workshop early every morning and works with passion as if creating his own artistic work. He examines each master's work in the team, provides guidance, and makes final decisions. No sculpture is completed without our sculptor's approval. Thanks to this approach, every work we produce carries a consistent artistic vision. Our customers can be assured that their projects are progressing under the supervision of a master sculptor.

How many people work in your team and what are their roles?

Five people work actively and continuously in our workshop, while three of our employees contribute at specific hours during the day. Our sculptor oversees all processes and provides artistic direction. Our team includes a casting master, patination master, woodwork master, and general production assistants. Each master specializes in their own field and works in harmony with each other. The atmosphere in our workshop is based on friendly cooperation rather than hierarchy. Additionally, Fine Arts Faculty students are present in our workshop for internships and participate in the production process.

What types of sculptures cannot be produced in your workshop?

Mass-produced sculptures, machine-made replicas, or commercial products lacking artistic integrity are not produced in our workshop. Additionally, rush orders requiring extremely short delivery times are not accepted as they do not comply with our quality standards. Every sculpture requires a certain maturation process, and shortening this process reduces the quality of the work. Ordinary products without artistic value, meant only for decorative purposes, also do not align with our production philosophy. We view each work as an art piece and approach it accordingly.

Our Mission

As Heykel.org, our mission is to transfer the journey that begins with artistic passion every morning when we step into our workshop to our customers, students, and art. For us, producing sculptures is not just a job, it is a way of life where we proceed by treating each project as our own work of art. Our sculptor comes to the workshop early every day and gets to work with passion as if doing their own artistic work. This passion is reflected in every work we produce and makes the sculptures that reach our customers special.

Customer Experience and Transparency

At the center of our mission is customer satisfaction and transparency. Our order process is carefully designed for our customers to both experience and make clear decisions. Our first meeting usually takes place by phone, and during this meeting, we listen in detail to understand exactly what our customer wants. Before starting work, we offer our customer a clear idea with graphically prepared visuals and options. During the production process, we share visuals and videos at three critical stages to ensure our customer is informed of every step. Thanks to this transparency, our customers proceed to the result with peace of mind.

We also adopt an honest and clear approach regarding change requests. Changes are not possible in a sculpture whose production process has been completed because each stage has been carefully planned and implemented. However, at the clay stage, if the outer layer has not yet been completed, we discuss additional requests and include these requests in the work when possible. This approach both preserves artistic integrity and increases customer satisfaction.

Handcraft and Production Philosophy

Our distinctive feature is completely handcraft, natural production, and durability. We see that almost all of our competitors produce with machines. However, we believe that sculpture art requires work that must be shaped entirely by the master's hand. Works produced with machines can never have artistic value. What makes sculpture artistic and valuable is that it is prepared with handcraft. Therefore, we never take the easy way out and approach each project with the same dedication.

In our production process, rather than quality control, we use quality workmanship and quality materials from start to finish. We do not randomly buy the materials we use from random companies. We work with suppliers we have worked with for many years and trust. We build the inner layers of sculptures with solid iron skeletons and meticulously process every detail up to the outer surfaces. Due to handcraft, the production time of a sculpture varies between one week and one month. Giving a precise time does not suit sculpture art because each work carries its own unique challenges and beauties.

Workshop Culture and Teamwork

The working environment in our workshop is based on friendship and respect rather than master-apprentice relationship. Artistic work production progresses with our sculptor's directives, but this process is not hierarchical but collaborative. Each master shares their field-related work with others, and our sculptor gives the final opinion. In this way, we conduct a democratic but professional production process. Five people actively work continuously in our workshop, and three of our employees contribute at certain hours during the day. We can work on three sculptures simultaneously, and when we add our students' own projects, this number can rise to five.

Education and Knowledge Sharing

We never close our door to students. An important part of our mission is to provide real workshop experience to Fine Arts Faculty Sculpture Department students. Students receive detailed answers to every question they ask us and can see everything in practice on the sculpture in progress at that moment. This is the best way to turn theoretical knowledge into practice. We respect young people's desire to learn and are proud to contribute to their development.

Delivery and Installation Service

The same care continues during the delivery process. We prefer cargo companies we have worked with for a long time because these companies have a reliable track record of trouble-free and damage-free delivery. We add mounting apparatus to the products we prepare to avoid the need for installation work, enabling easy installation. For large products, we have special installation discussions if necessary and provide support to our customers in this regard as well.

Social Responsibility and Contribution to Art

We participate in all art events to which we are invited, but our focus is always on our work. We donate surplus sculpture works to certain places with the aim of contributing to art, contributing to making art more visible in society. These donations can be schools, parks, or cultural centers. What matters is that art reaches people.

Our Principles

We never take the easy way out. We never close our door to students who want to learn. We never enter into changes that would stain our art. These three principles form the foundation of our daily work. When making every decision, when starting every project, we remember these principles and act accordingly. Our mission is to live these values in every work we do today and carry them forward to tomorrow.
