Polished Venetian Plaster
Old world techniques combined with marble and slaked lime natural materials and tints, produce elegant “stone like” traditional renders that can be polished to a “glass face,” or be applied to simulate “earthen clay,” in an endless variety of colours and textures.
Metal Leaf – Gilding
The process of applying metal leaf to surfaces has changed little over the centuries. At Spencer Studios we have mastered the techniques of applying the delicate variety of metals to small scale items such as ornate picture frames and cornice to much larger scale ceilings and walls. The various metals can be further enhanced with the application of transparent tinted clear coats.
Faux Finishes
Faux meaning “fake” finishes is where we started. This is our bread and butter. Colour washes, antiquing, distressing, woodgrains, faux stone and marble, rag rolling, crackle. You name it, we have the skills to duplicate any surface texture, colour or material.
Metal Patina – Rust
Patina (oxidation) of various colours and textures can be created by treating metal with chemical solutions. Stunning natural rusts and aged metal effects can be used to enhance any surface as we also create our own metal finishes using finely ground metals in resin and polymer solutions. If you like what Axolotyl are doing, you have just found an alternate contractor.
Skies
Hand painted sky ceilings and feature backdrop walls are something we take enormous pleasure in creating. From windswept stormy clouds, to dramatic sunsets, or good ol’ cherub jumping fantasy skies. If you wish to open up a space and have it look realistic or dramatic, we have the skills for you.
Illusion Laminates
Looking for the latest contemporary innovative ideas to decorate? Here’s a small sample of polycarbonate and PVC “Illusion” films that can be applied to your feature surface.
Furniture & Fittings
Thinking of redecorating and your budget doesn’t allow you to throw away that tired old furniture and fixtures? Consider our faux finish skills to transform them into an endless variety of styles. Shabby chic, sun bleached driftwood, oxidised metal or a French polished look. Anything is possible.
