Hand-painted resin religious statues

A resin statue is cast in a mould and then painted by hand: the faces, the eyes, the blue of Our Lady’s mantle, the red of the Sacred Heart, gilded edges and the small details of a rosary or a lily. Because each one is painted by hand, two castings of the same statue will differ slightly — a property of the object, not a fault.

Colour is the reason people choose resin. Most of the statues Irish families grew up with were painted, and a painted face holds the attention in a way plain stone does not, especially for children. It is also the reason resin is mostly an indoor material: painted colour keeps best out of strong sun and hard weather.

Hand-painted resin is posted anywhere in the Republic of Ireland for a flat €15 per order, however many statues are in it, and you get a tracking link by email when it is dispatched. Every order is packed by hand and checked before it leaves us. If a statue arrives damaged, send us a photograph within 48 hours and we will replace it or refund it in full, including the postage.

Collection in Termonbarry, Co. Roscommon, is free. For delivery outside Ireland, write to us and we will tell you honestly whether we can help, and quote the full cost before you pay anything. The details are on shipping and returns.

Dust with a soft cloth or brush; if it needs more, a barely damp cloth is enough. Never scrub, and keep solvents and spray cleaners away — they lift paint. A spot out of strong direct sun keeps the colours freshest for longest. The full notes are on our story page.

Painted resin is the usual choice for statues for the home, for a classroom prayer focus, and for gifts — see religious gifts and First Holy Communion gifts.
