Here is a look back at the making of 'Avon', an artwork that we helped Bo Lanyon create last year. Bo's design shows a section through Bristol highlighting the River Avon and the Floating Harbour. The water elements were cast in bronze, while we crafted the surrounding landscape by CNC machining and hand-finishing slabs of Western Hemlock timber.
To ensure precision, we 3D-scanned the bronze casting upon its arrival. This allowed us to achieve an exact fit and a seamless junction between the timber and the bronze.
With over 40 years of experience, we are uniquely equipped to assist artists in bringing their visions to life. Our extensive expertise spans a wide range of skills, techniques, equipment, and material knowledge, making us a trusted partner in the creative process.
