One studio, every sculpture medium
Most fabricators work in a single material. We work in all of them, which means the material is chosen to suit the site and the brief rather than to suit the workshop.
All Categories of Sculpture
We take sculpture commissions in every major medium and at any scale, from life-size figures to monumental installations.

Scrap Metal Sculptures
Scrap sculpture builds monumental work out of discarded metal — chain, pipe, gears, tools, vehicle parts.
Explore Scrap Metal →
Metal Cast Sculptures
We design and fabricate metal sculpture and civic installations — cut, formed and welded work in sheet and section, finished in metallic patinas and often internally lit.
Explore Metal Cast →FRP Sculptures
FRP — fiber reinforced plastic, commonly called fiberglass — is the standard choice for large outdoor sculpture in India, because it gives the visual weight of bronze or stone at a fraction of the mass, cost and installation complexity.

FRP Murals
Cast fiber relief murals are three-dimensional wall panels — sculpted, moulded and finished in our Varanasi studio, then mounted on site.

Cement Murals
Cement murals are carved by hand directly onto the wall.

Wall Paintings
We paint murals at building scale — full multi-storey facades, boundary walls, underpasses and campus walls — working at height with rope and scaffold access.

Interior Decorative FRP Materials
Beyond figurative sculpture, FRP is an interior material in its own right.

Work built entirely from discarded metal.
View the project →Large-Scale Wall Paintings
Mural work at building scale — full multi-storey facades painted with rope access, alongside street-level portrait and decorative work.
View the project →Made by hand, in one workshop
Every piece starts as a clay original and ends as an installation. Moulding, lay-up, finishing and fixing all happen here — which is why the material can be chosen for the site rather than for the workshop.
Print & design, in-house
A production digital press and a wide-format printer sit in our Lanka shop. Short runs are printed here, not sent out — which is why a single copy is as straightforward as five hundred.
UV Printing
UV printing cures the ink instantly with ultraviolet light instead of letting it soak in and dry.

Offset Printing
Offset is the right process once quantity is high.
Explore Offset Printing →Book Printing
We print and bind books — from single-copy and short academic runs through to bulk offset editions.
Explore Books →Coffee Table Books
A coffee table book is a different job from a book.

Canvas Printing
We print photographs and artwork onto artist canvas and stretch it over wooden frames, gallery-wrapped so no frame is needed.

Government & Municipal
We work with municipal corporations, Nagar Nigam bodies, development authorities, Smart City SPVs and PWD on public space beautification — landmark installations, sculpture, wall painting and corridor schemes.

FRP vs GRC vs Cement: Choosing a Material for Outdoor Sculpture in India
For most outdoor sculpture in India the choice comes down to three materials.
Read the guide →GuideWhat Drives the Cost of a Custom Statue in India
Statue pricing is driven by six things: height, material, finish complexity, whether a specific likeness is required, structural engineering, and installation.
Read the guide →GuideHow to Commission a Public Sculpture: A Step-by-Step Guide
Commissioning public art runs through eight stages: brief, site assessment, concept, approval of a scale model, fabrication, finishing, installation and handover.

Outdoor sculpture in India faces intense UV, monsoon saturation, dust and pollution.
Read the guide →GuideScrap Metal Sculpture for Municipal Parks: A Guide for Urban Local Bodies
Scrap sculpture is unusually well suited to municipal budgets: material cost is negligible because the material is waste, and the spend goes almost entirely into skill.
Read the guide →GuideChoosing a 3D Wall Mural for a Hotel or Restaurant
A relief mural in a hospitality interior succeeds or fails on three decisions made before fabrication: whether the wall can take the load, whether the lighting rakes across the surface, and whether the scale suits the distance guests actually view it from.
