Teacher, retired after 35 years

This teacher figurine marks a retirement after 35 years in the classroom. They hold a red apple in one hand and a stack of books in the other, and wear a cream cardigan, navy top, rolled jeans and brown loafers. A little chalkboard easel stands beside them on a gray base. The silver bun, glasses and pearl earrings follow your photo.From a single photo we take the face and hair, bun and glasses included. The cardigan, apple, books and easel are part of the design. Starting from plain polymer clay, one of our 20+ artists does the sculpting and painting by hand, with no 3D printing. Before we finish, Standard and Faster orders get a free face proof, and we keep reworking it until you love it.As a personalized retirement gift for a teacher, it says thanks for every year at the front of the room. It goes home from the farewell party as a little piece of the classroom....
