Crafting Worlds Alongside The People That Imagine Them.
Creative partners to the themed-environment industry, as well as the corporate industry - providing specialist sculpture, scenic art and immersive theming in support of your vision.
At Herd Art Studio, we bring concepts to life for museums, visitor attractions, set design, corporate and domestic designers, theme parks, creative agencies and immersive experience designers. We don't replace design teams we support them.
From large-scale sculpture and scenic finishes to full themed environments and custom built showpieces, we provide the specialist artistry that turns ideas into unforgettable spaces.
Current Project
"PURPOSE" is a 2.5 meter figurative sculpture, currently being created by Hamish and Brenda Herd for a private client in Texas. The work explores strength, intention and the quiet resolve that drives human endeavour.
Rooted in old world sculpting traditions, the piece begins with a hand built armature and is modelled in clay using classical figurative techniques, carefully observing balance, anatomy and gesture. These time honoured methods are then blended with contemporary fabrication processes, allowing the sculpture to transition from tactile clay and steel into its final form.
The completed works will be realised in stainless steel, a material chosen for its permanence, resiliance and subtle dialog with light. In Purpose, traditional craftsmanship and modern engineering meet, reflecting a belief that meaning is forged through both discipline and innovation.
This sculpture stands as a testament to process, collaboration and intention. Where every mark, weld and decision serves a clear and deliberate end.
