One photograph, and a piece made only for you
Everform Keepsakes turns a single photo into a sculpted object. Nothing is held in stock and nothing is chosen from a catalogue, so the whole process is shaped around one thing: you see exactly what you are getting before you decide anything.
The five steps
- 1
Send one photograph
Upload a single photo of the subject. A phone photo in daylight is what most people send, and it is what the process is built around. There is no account to make and nothing to pay at this point.
- 2
See a free preview
In about a minute you get a preview of the subject as a sculpture, made from your photograph rather than from a template. This is the point at which you find out whether it works, before any money is involved.
- 3
Approve what you see
The preview you approve is the reference the finished piece is made from. If it is not right, nothing is made and nothing is charged.
- 4
It is sculpted and finished
The piece is made to order in matte engineered ceramic and finished by hand in the studio. Nothing is warehoused, so it does not exist until you order it.
- 5
It ships with tracking
It leaves the studio with tracking. Delivery speed is chosen separately at checkout, so shipping time sits on top of the production window rather than inside it.
The specifics
- Material
- Matte engineered ceramic, stone-white the whole way through. Dense and cool to the touch, with a soft velvet-matte surface. One finish, so there is nothing to choose.
- Colour
- There is none. The colour is the material itself, which is why the detail reads through form and shadow rather than paint.
- Sizes
- 4 sizes, from $99. Heights vary a little by subject, and the exact figures are shown beside your free preview.
- Made to order in
- 5 to 10 business days, hand-finished in the studio. Shipping is separate and chosen at checkout, so delivery is this window plus the speed you pick.
- Made
- Made in USA, and inspected before it ships.
- Preview
- Free, in about a minute, with no account and no payment. You approve it before anything is made.
- If it is wrong
- Damaged, defective, or not matching the preview you approved: tell us within 14 days of delivery with photographs and we remake it free.
The sides your photograph never showed
A photograph shows one side of a thing, and a sculpture has all of them. This is the part of the process people ask about most, so it is worth being plain about it.
The faces your photo shows are sculpted from your photo. For the faces the camera could not see, the approach is simple by design: understated detail rather than invention, the same style as the rest of the piece so it reads as one object, and shaped to make sense with everything the photograph does show. On some subjects you can send extra reference photographs at checkout so the sculptor works from those instead of from an assumption.
What you can send
Questions
- How does Everform make a keepsake from a photo?
- You upload one photograph, we generate a preview of it as a sculpture in about a minute, and you approve that preview before anything is made. The approved preview is the reference the physical piece is sculpted from, and the piece is then finished by hand in the studio.
- Do I pay before I see anything?
- No. The preview is free, needs no account, and comes before any payment. You only pay if you want the piece.
- What is an Everform keepsake made of?
- Matte engineered ceramic, stone-white the whole way through rather than coated or painted. It is dense and cool to the touch with a soft velvet-matte surface, and there is one finish, so there are no colour options to choose.
- How long does it take?
- Each piece is made to order and hand-finished, and shipping time is chosen separately at checkout, so delivery is the production window plus whichever speed you pick.
- Will the finished piece match the preview or my original photo?
- The preview. Your piece is sculpted from the preview you approve, not from your original photo, so what you see on the preview page is exactly what the studio works from. If the preview missed something that mattered in the photo, upload a different photo and generate a new preview before you order. Once production starts, the approved preview is the reference.
- What happens to the sides my photograph did not show?
- The faces visible in your photo are sculpted from it. For the faces the camera could not see, the approach is deliberately simple: clean and understated detail rather than guesswork, in the same style as the rest of the piece, shaped to make sense with everything the photo does show. On some subjects you can send extra reference photographs so the sculptor works from those instead.
- What if it arrives and it is wrong?
- If it arrives damaged, defective, or not matching the preview you approved, tell us within 14 days of delivery with photographs and we remake it free.
