The finest tragedies written in English were all composed in the first decade of the seventeenth century, and it is generally accepted that the best ones were Shakespeare's.
Elizabethan and Jacobean audiences delighted in shocking theatre and Shakespeare certainly provided his share of "murder most foul". Find out about those characters who met violent and curious ends.

The awe-inspiring Masterpiece! Carving requires a sure knowledge of the final form desired, for a material such as marble or granite cannot be restored once it is cut off. To lessen the risk of error sculptors often make small models in clay, wax, or plasticine, scaled to proper proportions, before undertaking the final carving. Sometimes a pointing machine is used to help transfer the exact contours of the model to the final stone. This machine, which mounts a movable needle, transfers to the final material a series of points corresponding exactly to those made on the model. With this mechanical guide the sculptor knows just where to carve.

Arkahdia Arts Studio,
a European immigrant now living in New York started a studio dedicated to casting these pieces of Art. By focusing the business on two goals;(1) to save pieces which have been produced in another medium in bygone times, and (2) to bring new artist's work to the public, the product lines have prospered, delighted and excited.
