What a busy week... now last minute Friday test - laser cutting holes on leather. We're helping a client with their leather sewing techniques. It looks like it's worked, but we'll know more once our client has tested it. Watch this space...

It’s #friday to brighten up your day…. here's @nefertipi a Spanish, London based multidisciplinary artist that we’ve recently had the pleasure of working with.

We laser cut her designs as MDF shapes for her latest work “Me specta!” (Look at me!)

A lot of leather projects at the mo
Laser cutting leather is a delicate business & some finishes aren't compatible. Natural leather is best & we always carry out tests first.
A lot of fashion designers use laser cutting for its enhanced precision

Being in #Shoreditch surrounded by creatives is perfect for us & fits with our boutique approach.

#artists love us as… we’re close to their studios, they can pop in & view works in progress, have large cutting machines all under one roof & we help solve problems.

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 love the colour 'pop' with these signs for @ascendsignworks
We #lasercut a 10mm clear acrylic back panel & 5mm green, blue & white acrylic text/logos, then we glued them onto the back to create fresh-looking office signs.
@carpetbrightuk - new office, done!

We produced this fab "Tudor House" sign for architect & mosaic artist Tessa Hunkin.
Working from a sketch, we made a CAD file & CNC machined 18mm Marine Plywood letters.
These were then installed & painted by the client.

We recently worked on "Oniscidea" by @rachmortlock that exhibited at PotLuck in Bath.
The artwork uses Plywood, acrylic & Jesmonite & features some of Rachel's "Biscuits" for the woodlice to feed on!
