The Workshop
Christian Art : the workshop
Founded in 1880 by brothers Joaquim and Marià Vayreda i Vila, we maintain their vocation, methodology and admiration for a job well done.
Our workshop is a building of more than 2,000 m2 located in the beautiful city of Olot, Catalonia in northeastern Spain.
Currently the workshop is composed of 16 craftsmen completely dedicated to the creation of Christian statues.
We maintain the tradition of our creators and over the years we have incorporated technological advances that have allowed us to be present in the five continents showing the beauty of our creations.
Next to our artistic facilities is located the museum of the Saints of Olot dedicated to show the new generations our tradition.
All our customers and those interested in the art of creating Christian statues are invited to visit our facilities.

Christian Art: MATERIALS AND FINISHES
RESIN
- Material composition: polyester resin with calcium carbonate.
- Finish: electrolytic bath of copper alloy and other materials and bronze patina finish
- The statues can range from 60 to 120 cm.
FIBERGLASS

- Material composition: gelcoat polyester resin and reinforcing fibers.
- Finish: paint, non-toxic water-based matte enamel of great hardness and resistance.
WOODCARVING
- This line is a tribute to the great sculptors who have collaborated with our company for more than 125 years (Llimona, Blay, Devesa, Ache, Trayte and many others).
- With this line we offer the possibility of realizing in carved wood any of our models larger than 60 cm, decorated without halo or glass eyes.
- The most important characteristic of these sculptures is the importance given to the carving work and the little intervention of the machine.
- The realization can be in three different decorations: Natural wood, Antique in colors by transparencies or extra plastered with gold and chiseled.
