Let's face it, on a busy project nobody really wants the extra hassle of having to deal with commissioning an artwork
...but it doesn't have to be like that.
Commissioning an original and unique artwork can be a creative and rewarding journey that adds immense benefits to your project, and brings an individual identity that is hard to beat.
Stage 1 – Listening to you
Every project begins with listening to you, helping to draw up a brief for the design and deciding which elements you would like to draw in to your specific artwork. As well as my FREE initial consultation I offer a range of services that will ensure your project is built on firm foundations, including: Feasibility Reports and costings; Community Consultation; Design Workshops; Community and School Workshops.
Stage 2 – Expert planning
I plan our projects so you don’t have to… Careful planning and advice for our clients where it’s needed means that our projects run smoothly and tie in seamlessly with your programme. We can also advise your management contractors and sub contractors to ensure that, when it comes to site, all the cogs fit together.
Stage 3 – creative design
My award winning mosaic designs are exclusive to Drostle Public Arts. Each design begins with listening to you, understanding your aims for the project and also taking into account the surrounding architecture and landscape. We can also create mosaics from your own design or work with your own appointed artist.
Stage 4 – skilled fabrication
Your artwork will be created with passion, in-house, in my London studio or directly on-site. Each mosaic tesserae is hand cut and placed by myself and my studio team. Most mosaics are entirely made off-site to minimise the time and disruption on-site. We can work in marble, glass, ceramic and mixed media.
Stage 5 – unrivalled installation
You’ll benefit from over thirty years of mosaic installation experience, with our install team based around the same craftspeople who made your mosaic. And because it’s the same people who made the mosaic you can be sure of the same attention to detail. We love our work. To be honest, why would you choose anyone else, our installation service is second to none.
Stage 6 – Time to celebrate
Commissioning a bespoke artwork is a totally unique event, so why not make the most of it with a grand unveiling. A chance to step back and watch the smiles on the faces of your clients, stake holders or the public. I am also happy to engage in linked promotional activities events and media engagements.
It's a delivery promise that's proved to work... Just look at some of the awards my works have received

“This creativity is combined with a thoroughly professional
and practical approach so that issues of integration into
architecture, working with other professionals, long-term
maintenance and community contact are all addressed.
It has been a pleasure to work with Gary, to have our commission
added to his exciting portfolio and I will follow his
future activities with great interest.”
