We work closely with art and design professionals to create installations that are both transformative and consistent with the project’s design program. To facilitaite ease of installation and to maximize the impact of the finished art work, it is important to begin planning for the installation as early as possible in the design process. Among the areas that benefit from careful planning are identification of the installation site; selection and coordination of materials, construction methods and finishes; coordination of fixing and/or fastening method with the installation area’s materials and construction methods; and selection and location of light fixtures used to feature the installation.
After an initial consultation, we create samples and prepare a proposal for one or more installation schemes together with recommendations for design, size and finish of the ceramic elements.
Upon receipt of the signed proposal and deposit, we fabricate the individual ceramic elements; finish and kiln-fire the elements and prepare them for installation. The lead time for fabricating the ceramic elements and any related items is typically 10 to 14 weeks for all but the largest-scale installations.
We typically commence on-site installation after the surface of the installation areas has been finished, all dust-producing work in the vicinity has been completed and immediately before furnishings and window treatments are scheduled to be installed. On-site installation typically takes 2 to 5 days. Completion of panel-mounted installations and relief sculptures is completed in our studio.
Following installation, we send maintenance and care instructions to the owner together with attic stock of additional ceramic forms for the owner to keep on hand.
