Robert Olszewski was born in 1945 in Natrona Heights, Pennsylvania. His natural interest in art developed early and was first demonstrated in painting and drawing. At age 16, he began winning awards for his work at local art shows, and was encouraged to pursue a career in art. Robert graduated in 1968 with a BS in Art Education from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, married and moved to Southern California in the same year to live near a major US art center and teach. In 1979, at age 34, Robert was brought under exclusive contract with a major European porcelain company. As a master artist from 1979 to 1994, Robert oversaw the development of the modeling and painting studios, and watched the company grow from a staff of four painters in 1979 to 65 painters in a studio number 95 personnel.

The creation of a sculpture or other metal design begins with a small block of carving wax, which is sculpted using very fine carving tools. After the carved figurine has been laboriously completed (anywhere from 100 to 400 hours later), the wax sculpture is placed inside a crucible and invested with plaster.
After the plaster solidifies, it is heated, causing the wax to melt and drain out of holes put in for that purpose. The wax figure, which took all those long hours of tedious carving to shape, is now "lost" forever, which is how the process earned its name. A hard plaster cavity is all that remains. This plaster mold is then filled with molten sterling silver and broken open after the metal solidifies. The resulting casting is called the sterling master. GREAT FOR COLLECTORS OR AS A GIFT!
