Clients and Installations
We’ve been involved in many installations for stage, shop window, entrance lobby, church etc. Lampshades from recycled posters, paper decor for stages, giant blooms for shop windows and folded book art for windows too. We’ve helped tie dye tablecloths and created feather jackets, made many paper products and more.
