Bespoke fabrication

Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do 

 

We believe in a collaborative approach to the making process, working with clients to realise their projects from concept through to fabrication and installation.

We work with artists, designers, private clients and students to produce a variety of projects from fine art sculpture, public art, life casting to bespoke objects. Using numerous fabrication and production methods, we produce the highest quality sculpture, installation and construction for contemporary works of art.

We use all materials including a wide range of woods, plastics, metals - foundry and cold cast, resins, polyurethanes, silicones, rubbers, carbon fibres and foams.
