Hi All - Thanks for your encouraging responses to our first mail out. 

We've had a busy month with a lot of projects at the early stages of development so here is a Triskill job we finished a while back. 

Most of our clients know us for paint or mosaic commisions but we have also taken on large scale sculptural projects. The image you see is a plaster relief wall for the main reception of a boutique hotel in Limerick - it was custom designed by us for the location and involved coming up with a repeat pattern that also created a natural flowing image; not an easy task when each panel had to link up on all four sides but follow a 45 degree angle. The project was a real challenge, from choosing the right material to work with, to making sure we had a smooth and unblemished finish. The end result, we feel, was worth it. It was complemented by a mirrored wall on the opposite side of the room which we also designed. You can see from the photos below how the two features worked together.

We think there is a lot of potential in the plaster panel as a way of creating a striking wall feature - it's also cost effective, as once the main template is produced any number of panels can be manufactured.

Next month we'll let you in on a really great project we have just started - till then, all the best...

Wow, that looks beautiful. How durable is it?

Hi Emma - Just starting this blog!
The panels are as hard as marbkle so they are pretty durable

That is really impressive, especially when you realise the scale relative to the people in the photos. The finish looks great. It would be interesting to see that contemporary style of design applied to something traditional like a ceiling rose.

Hi Andrew - We keep trying to get our clients to try the panels in more and more unusual locations - ceilings being one of them. It's a direction we would really like to go in because the possibilities are quite exciting.
