Brent Ashe's CEREMONY: From Prototype to Perfection

Why so many “Ceremony” prototypes?

Before a statue like Ceremony by Brent Ashe reaches your hands, it goes through several stages of refinement. One of the most important steps is creating multiple prototypes, or paint masters. These aren’t just duplicates, they each serve a specific purpose in bringing the final piece to life.

For Ceremony, we used different prototypes for:

- Reference for the workshop: This ensures the factory can replicate the exact colors, textures, and finishes we want for the final production pieces.

- Each cofounder having their own piece: Both the art director and creative director need their own prototypes to study, adjust, and approve. This allows them to make hands-on refinements.

- Events and photography: Some prototypes are reserved for preorders, marketing, and photoshoots. This lets us showcase the statue to collectors while production is still ongoing.

Even though these prototypes are technically the same statue, small variations naturally appear due to the handmade process. Each one plays a distinct role in making sure the final production pieces are as precise and polished as possible.
