Model making
Construction of display models, sculptural elements, prototypes, maquettes and bespoke exhibition components.
Model Making & Restoration
Careful fabrication, repair and finishing for models, artworks, sculptural objects and display materials.
Making, repairing and refining with care.
Model making and restoration require patience, material awareness and close attention to composition, detail and finish. This service can support the fabrication of new objects, the repair of existing pieces, or the careful improvement of damaged or unfinished works.
The work is particularly suited to artists, galleries, collectors, museums and organisations needing practical support from someone who understands both the object and the context in which it will be seen.
