THE SAG LIFE ACHIEVEMENT
AWARD STATUETTE
is made using a process that
involves creating two molds from
wax models and then pouring in
molten bronze heated to 2,000
degrees Fahrenheit. Once the
bronze is cooled and freed from
the ceramic, each mask is polished
and refined. After the comedy and
tragedy masks are carefully welded
together, the finished statue is
then oxidized with a process that
involves a mixture of chemicals and
heating with a blow torch to give
the award its green patina.
