Skylight Studios has designed and fabricated custom awards and gifts of recognition for schools, corporations, museums, and many other professional organizations. These small sculptures can be produced for a one-time event or annually, as we can make a single piece or an edition of hundreds. We offer a wide variety of materials for the finished work, and each piece can be personalized with an engraved plaque. Some of the projects below are miniatures of our own works. Others we re-sculpted in a reduced size or produced from a mold of the original. A few of the awards below are original designs.
