The finished product
Each portrait sculpture is designed by hand from your photo with pen and paper. The image is turned into a digital file for cutting by CNC machine using a high density fibre board which is black throughout and specially designed for intricate cutting work.
'Standard' sculptures are 70 cm tall and 9mm thick. 'Large' sculptures are 110cm tall and 18mm thick.
There are two colour finishes available: Black or Birch.
Uploading your image
Your image doesn’t need to be high resolution, however composition is really important. An ideal photo should show all the people full bodied with no cropped heads, hands or feet. Selfies are not your friend here!
Ideally everyone should be grouped together without spaces in between. Although it is possible to connect separated people with joining lines which are useful for more candid photos. But the lines only have structural rather than artistic value.
Don’t worry though, if there are any complications with your photo I’ll be in touch to discuss the options.

For wide pieces, a second nail may be required, in which case the first nail should be hammered in, one side of the piece hung, and the position for the second nail marked.
The packaging uses the waste from the cutting process to protect the sculpture, and is then sandwiched between two wooden sheets and wrapped in cardboard. The packaging is not specifically designed to be environmentally friendly, but it can be easily recycled after use.
