As sculptor Hugo Brees refines his raw sculptures, he provides the studio with the opportunity to salvage off-cuts of stone accumulating in the sweepings of his latest projects.
Conscientious of reusing, repurposing and recycling, this stone is passed on the studio’s maker/artist Joan Brees to create custom-designed graphics for the palm-sized art pieces.
Tuck-Inz© are a perfect, unique artisan gift! The small-scaled size piece can be tucked into a bookshelf, on a desk, next to a plant… a subtle art piece to decorate that special home or office nook.
Each stone’s shape and type – soapstone, alabaster, chlorite – elicits its own personality. The background vignettes are produced using a special inking process to produce novel designs for every piece. Hard-wearing epoxy resin is applied as a final touch to seal the durability of the product.
The quirky, distinctive Tuck-Inz© from our studio has been test-marketed with two galleries this fall and has been met with enthusiastic and proven results.
Tuck-Inz© pieces are unique; never replicated, studio inventory turn-over is ongoing. Our current stock on www.millcreekstudio.ca changes often.
If you are in the Pincher Creek, AB area the Pincher Creek Allied Arts Lebel Mansion gift shop carries a selection of Mill Creek Studio Tuck-inz© and follow our studio on Facebook at millcreekstudio!
