Michael De Medina began the company as a sculptor, silversmith and goldsmith. With these disciplines he taught his apprentices how to make the custom trophies and awards. Some Awards require the likeness of a corporation founder or president. Sometimes the design called for requires attention to a specific style, such as Art Nouveau, or Ultra Modern, these challenges are met successfully by the artisans at American Metal Arts Studios. Browse our site for many samples of custom awards, metal art work and sculpting.

We have worked with many art directors, set designers, as well as costume designers to produce special props. Movie studios at times have requested special one of a kind items for a movie. Sometimes we have made special pieces for wrap parties and gifts. American Metal Arts Studios. has always met the challenge successfully.

Our close proximity to Hollywood, CA has provided not only an opportunity to work for the Movie Studios, but also create commissioned statues and art for celebrities as well. Please see our Testimonial Page
