01 / A USEFUL STARTING POINT
An idea takes shape through making.
At the XGC sculpture workshop, we bring drawings and visual references into physical form. Our work on metal surfaces, form sections, panels and character pieces connects the design conversation with hands-on sculpture making.
02 / A USEFUL STARTING POINT
The details we work through together.
We use the approved design to keep the outline, dimensions, surface and important details in focus. Whether your project is a landscape form or an interior object, we agree the appearance and the review points around the piece you want to create.
03 / A USEFUL STARTING POINT
See the work behind the finished surface.
Explore metal surface work, large-form assembly, sculptural panels and character surface preparation. These workshop views bring you closer to the different activities behind our finished sculpture. We select the making approach to suit the design and material for your project.
04 / A USEFUL STARTING POINT
Clear reviews as your sculpture develops.
A sculpture production review brings the relevant drawing, component and appearance reference together. We discuss the progress images and decisions needed for your commission so you can follow the work against the details we have agreed.
Before making begins, we identify the approved design, the important dimensions and the person responsible for confirming changes. That shared starting point helps us keep the design intent clear.
05 / A USEFUL STARTING POINT
Ready for its next setting.
We connect the finished piece with the component information, packing arrangement and receiving requirements for your order. A pre-dispatch sculpture review helps us work through the agreed items together before the artwork moves towards its destination.

with us.
Get to know our work and start your sculpture project with us.
Discuss your requirements ↗What work can we see in your workshop?
Our workshop gallery shows metal surface work, form sections, large-form assembly, sculptural panels, character pieces and surface preparation. You can open each image for a closer look at the work.
How do you decide how a sculpture will be made?
We review the design, scale, material and intended setting with you. These details guide the proposed making approach and the review points for your particular sculpture.
What do we agree before production?
We agree the design reference, dimensions, material and appearance, along with the scope and approval responsibilities. Bring us any details that must remain recognisable so they can be included in the design review.
Can we discuss progress photographs?
Yes. Tell us which details and stages you would like to review. We agree the progress information for your project and connect each review with the relevant artwork, drawing or component.
What is reviewed before a sculpture leaves the workshop?
We work through the artwork, agreed appearance, components and requested documents with you. Packing, handling and receiving requirements are also reviewed for the specific order.
How do we discuss timing for our project?
Share your target date, design reference, size, quantity and destination with us. We review the making and approval requirements together before confirming a schedule for the commission.
