The sculptural type consists of 3-dimensional objects, clad in mosaic ‘tesserae’. These are applied to a sculpted object constructed of many types of supporting material [‘armature’]. This material can be anything secure and weather-proof, durable and capable of receiving tiling. The tiling is subsequently grouted with outdoor grout, leaving a surface that is smooth to the touch. This distinguishes our sculptural artwork from the decorative examples described above.

Designs include the incorporation of hand-made and shaped tiles to suit the desired effect. 3-D aspects make use of curved tesserae, made in-house specifically for each piece.
