Frequently asked questions

The work is sculpture, mostly in stone, cast concrete and steel. Some pieces are made for public places and some for private collections. Each one starts with the material and the site it is going to live in.

Yes. Commissions usually begin with a conversation about the place, the scale and the budget. From there the studio develops a small maquette and a material sample before any carving or casting starts, so you can see where the work is heading.

It depends on the size and the material. A modest piece might take a few months, and a large sited work can run most of a year once fabrication, curing and installation are counted. The studio gives a realistic timeline early and keeps you posted as it moves.

Some completed works are available and some are already placed. The best way to find out is to ask about a specific piece. If a work has sold, the studio can often make a related piece in the same family.

Yes. A good deal of the work is public sculpture, sited in parks, walkways and civic spaces. The studio is used to working alongside landscape architects, engineers and councils, and to meeting the safety and durability standards those projects need.

Stone, cast concrete and weathering steel all sit well outdoors and change slowly over time in a way that suits sculpture. The studio chooses the material for the site, the climate and the feeling the work is after, and finishes it so it ages honestly rather than failing.

Large works are engineered for their footing and craned or placed onto a prepared base. The studio handles the fixing details, the ground works liaison and the transport, and works to the site's access and consent requirements so installation is straightforward on the day.

Visits can be arranged by appointment, and many of the sited works can be seen in their public locations any time. Get in touch and the studio will point you to the nearest pieces or set up a time to look at work in progress.
