Creating a prized possession

The Terryberry Co., 2033 Oak Industrial Drive NE, has made a one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted award for the 2010 first place winner of ArtPrize. The 10-ounce award, made from Terryberry’s new 100 percent recycled Harmony Sterling Silver, will be presented to the top winner at ArtPrize’s closing ceremony on Oct. 7. Terryberry’s custom manufacturing process of the medallion was a multi-step process involving wax molding, hand polishing and an electronic fusing of a 24K gold finish. Mike Byam, fourth-generation managing partner of Terryberry, recently presented the finished product to Bill Holsinger-Robinson, executive director of ArtPrize. The Terryberry Co. is known for its customized recognition and award programs that feature employee recognition awards.
