Fabrication consultation, from idea to made.
Fabrication consultation for artists and designers who have an idea but not the how. Bring it to the studio, even without a drawing, and a working artist will help you work out how it gets made.
Work shown at Frieze, Studio Voltaire and Nicoletti Contemporary.
Not every project starts with a file. Often it starts with an idea and the question of how on earth to build it. We bring years of workshop experience to that question, so you spend your budget on the right approach first time, planned backwards from your deadline. Bring sketches, references, or just a description.
Process and material advice
What to print, what to cast, what to make another way.
A plan to your deadline
Timelines and budgets worked back from your install date.
Start from a sketch
Bring references or a description, and we'll find the route.
A technical partner
With you from first conversation to install.
Process and material advice
What to print, what to cast, what to make another way entirely. We bring workshop experience to the decision so you spend your budget on the right approach the first time.
Planning to a deadline
Exhibitions and commissions have fixed dates. We plan timelines, staging and budgets backwards from your install date so the making fits the reality of the show.
A technical partner
For bigger projects we stay involved from first conversation to install: a fabrication partner who understands both the making and the intent behind the work.
Consultation suits artists and designers with an idea and real intent. Bring whatever you have, even if it's just a description.

Where we've used it
Good to know
I have an idea but no drawings or files. Can you still help?
Yes, that is exactly what consultation is for. Bring sketches, references or just a description and we work out the route to making it real.
Do you help plan around exhibition deadlines?
Yes. We plan timelines and budgets backwards from your install or opening date so fabrication fits the show, not the other way round.
Is consultation only for large projects?
Not at all. It suits any project you care about, with budgets typically from £2,000. If you just need a single small print, get in touch and we will gladly point you toward a faster, lower-cost printing service.
