Studio Hours
E3The bench runs to a casting calendar, so visits are by appointment. If you would like to see samples, molds or finished work in person, contact us first and we will set aside time with a maker rather than a diary.

Three Questions
E4How long does a commission take from brief to install?
A single relief or a small fabrication run usually takes six to ten weeks. A full sculptural facade can take four to six months depending on panel count, site survey time and the cure schedule. We confirm a casting calendar in writing before work begins.
Can you match an existing or historic cast?
Yes. Send photographs, dimensions and any drawings you hold. We take a silicone master from an original or surviving fragment and reproduce the profile in a compatible plaster, then finish it to sit beside aged material without pretending to be new.
Do you work outside Birmingham and the United Kingdom?
We are based at 79 Wattville Road, BIRMINGHAM - B21 0DL, United Kingdom (GB), and we regularly cast for projects across the country. International commissions are considered where a full casting run can be planned and shipped safely.
