“The compelling thing about making art- or making anything, I suppose- is the moment when the vaporous, insubstantial idea becomes a solid there, a thing, a substance in a world of substances. Circe, Nimbue, Artemis, Athena, all the old sorceresses: they must have known the feeling as they transformed mere men into fabulous creatures, stole the secrets of the magicians, disposed armies: ah, look, there it is, the new thing.”

Our Studios
Our 14-acre (5.67-hectare) production complex in High Springs, Florida, features over 114,000 square feet (10,591 square meters) of space dedicated to world-class fabrication.
The main facility, spanning 54,000 square feet (5,016 square meters), houses specialized shops for woodworking, metalworking, CNC machining, composites, sculpting, painting, model-making, 3D printing, and electronics/lighting in a dedicated clean room. This facility also includes our office space and a central gallery with a 36-foot (11-meter) clear-span ceiling, ideal for large mock-ups and assembly. Outside, paved areas allow for the full staging of large-scale show sets and iconic sculptures.
Natural lighting throughout ensures accurate paint finishes, and approximately two-thirds of our power is supplied by our rooftop solar array.
Our complex also includes a 39,000-square-foot (3,623 square meters) facility for specialty fabrication and storage, with an additional 21,000 square feet (1,951 square meters) available for future expansion.
