Did u know we make bespoke plinths for art galleries, exhibitions & photo shoots?

The humble plinth makes all the difference displaying a work of art.

This plinth for Hong Kong Artist Xper.Xr needed a support bar fitted inside as the object was very heavy.

It's been a busy 'wood' week at the workshop!

We just love the simplicity of these bespoke wood menu/sign holders in walnut, sapele & oak.

All lovingly hand-cut, sanded & lacquered.

From the archives...a typical town planning model at 1:1000 scale. A pre-planning visual aid, as relevant today as it was in 2007 when we made it.

We made a model called the "Humber Hydrogen Hub" for @centricaplc on behalf of their project partners SSE Thermal & Equinor to showcase plans for a collab of multiple low carbon hydrogen projects on the north bank of the Humber.

We regularly take off-cuts from our workshop to the Watford Recycling Art Project (WRAP).
WRAP was founded in 1995 & specialises in the recycling/repurposing of ethically sourced commercial waste for creative enterprise.

Do u know we laser cut leather?

We do a simple shape test piece 1st, as it's a challenging task depending on finish, thickness & type of leather.

Used for theatre & fashion, jewellery, interiors & bespoke pieces, it's versatile & enduring
