Large sculpture and editions for exhibitions
We work with galleries and their artists to produce large printed sculpture for shows, fairs and editions. That means consistent multiples, exhibition-grade surfaces and the practical side: crates, handling notes and a schedule built around your opening. The artist stays in charge of the work; we make it physical, big.
What we make for galleries
- Sculpture editions with a matched painted finish across every piece
- Large works for an exhibition or a fair booth
- Plinth-scale objects and wall pieces
- A known work produced at a new scale, with the artist's approval
- Glowing works in clear PETG, lit from inside
Edition-consistent finishes
Collectors look closely. We print every piece of an edition in white or clear PETG from the same file, join and sand the sections the same way and paint from the same batch where possible. Each piece is checked against an approved first piece under gallery-style lighting. All colour is paint, so a finish can match an artist's swatch or one of our codes, such as 06 Amber or 05 Vermilion. We can sign, mark or number pieces as the artist specifies.
Shows, fairs and secondary moves
Gallery work rarely makes one trip. A piece may go from studio to opening, then to a fair, a collector's home or storage. We design sections, mounting and packing with that life in mind, so a work can be safely broken down and rebuilt by art handlers.
Wall pieces get hidden hanging hardware. Floor works get bases that protect the finish and the gallery floor. Works that will be shown again can come with touch-up paint and assembly notes, so the next installer has what they need. If timing is tight before an opening, tell us the dates first and we will say plainly what is realistic.
Working with the artist's studio
Most gallery projects are a three-way conversation. The gallery sets dates and budget, the artist owns every decision about how the work looks, and we turn files into large printed sculpture. We send finish samples and progress photos to both, so nothing is decided quietly in the shop.
How it works
- Introduce the artist and the work, with your dates.
- We review files, suggest sections and finishes, then quote.
- The artist approves a finish sample or the first piece.
- We produce the work or the edition.
- We crate and deliver to the gallery, fair or collector.
What to send us
For gallery projects, include:
- Artist files and any existing reference pieces
- Edition size and numbering preferences
- Finish and colour expectations
- Exhibition, fair or shipping dates
- Crating, shipping and storage needs

Questions
How do you keep an edition consistent?
Every piece is printed from the same file in the same PETG, finished with the same steps and painted from the same batch where possible, then checked against an approved first piece.
Can you crate work for shipping to an art fair?
Yes. We pack each piece in crating or packing designed for its shape, with handling notes, so it is ready for art handlers and shippers.
Do you work directly with the artist?
Yes. We usually work with both the gallery and the artist, with the artist approving finish samples and key decisions.
Can a sculpture glow?
Yes, if it is printed in clear PETG. A tinted coat over the clear shell lets light pass through. White PETG pieces are painted opaque.
