Making, repairing and refining with care.

Model making and restoration require patience, material awareness and close attention to surface, structure 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.

What this can include

Model making

Construction of display models, sculptural elements, prototypes, maquettes and bespoke exhibition components.

Restoration support

Sensitive repair, surface work, cleaning, filling, retouching and practical conservation-minded improvements.

Finishing

Painting, matching, texture, patina, presentation details and other finishing processes that affect how an object reads.

Problem solving

Practical solutions for damaged, fragile, awkward or incomplete objects that need to be made exhibition-ready.
