Welcome to the United Artworks Web Site, http://unitedartworks.com featuring artwork by Andrew Werby and associates, a Techniques of Sculpture section, a Techniques of Jewelry section, and a Resources section with online sources of information potentially useful to practicing artists. You may also tap a referral network of highly-skilled artists and craftspeople who are willing and able to create custom work in many artistic fields. New on the site are the The Alt.Sculpture FAQs, with much hitherto hard-to-find information on sculpting in materials like Wax, Plaster, Steel, Stone and more.

As well as offering various items for sale, including sculpture, jewelry, furniture, ceramics, graphics and hardware, United Artworks and Andrew Werby are actively seeking opportunities to create decorative and functional works of art to order, in a wide range of media. Some of the photographs included here are of pieces that were designed especially for a client, and are not themselves available for sale. They are shown as an indication of the sort of thing that may be commissioned.

Having tried out many software and hardware products designed to make that magical transit from real objects, into computers, and back to actual objects again, we have decided to share the ones that actually worked for us. Our new domain, www.computersculpture.com is now the discount source for computer-sculpting products both hard and soft.If you're interested in the linkages between art and high technology, be sure to check out the Computer/Sculpture Links Page, which serves as a virtual tour of this fascinating field.

We have also opened an Online Bookstore, (in association with Amazon.com.) where you can read about, and get excellent prices on, various art-related books we can enthusiastically recommend. If the item you're looking for isn't reviewed there, you can search for it using the link on the Bookstore page.
