Cast in Seattle, WA · Installed & shipped nationwide

About the studio · Seattle · since 2009

The hands, the work,
and the bench behind it.

Ornament is still made by people. Two master craftsmen model, cast and fit everything we sell, from a studio in Seattle you are welcome to walk into. This is who they are, what they have built, and where it happens.

The artists

Two master craftsmen. Decades on the tools.

One models the ornament, one leads the bench and the crew in Seattle. The people who model a piece are the people who cast it and set it on your ceiling. Nobody else touches it.
