Gryffe painting studios at Restoration and Creation

Gryffe Casting Studios

Gryffe Casting understands the importance of capturing and preserving special moments in life. Today's special moments will become tomorrow's precious memories, we strive to create lasting keepsakes that embody the love and connections within families and friends.

Children grow up quickly, they are only little for a little while. By using body casting techniques, we can create unique and detailed sculptures that immortalise the innocence, purity, and beauty of children during their early stages of life. These sculptures serve as tangible reminders of those fleeting moments that pass by all too quickly.

Gryffe Casting's expertise extends beyond infancy, encompassing the journey of families as they grow and become bound together. Whether it's capturing the bond between siblings, commemorating a milestone anniversary, or celebrating the love between partners, Gryffe Casting specialise in creating art that reflects the unique dynamics and emotions within each family.

Through our craft, Gryffe Casting allows families to relive those cherished moments and hold onto the essence of their loved ones for years to come. By encapsulating the beauty of relationships and the fleeting nature of time, they create timeless pieces of art that become cherished heirlooms.

Porcelain Painter

Hello, my name is Kinda Zackry. I'm a former civil engineer who found herself drawn to the art of porcelain painting.

In 1997, when I was a Dubai resident searching for a creative hobby to assist me in escaping the city's frenetic existence, I stumbled into porcelain painting.

At first, a Japanese artist taught me and guided me. I became deeply interested in high-quality craftsmanship and exquisite design in the following years. When my mentor returned home, I had already become an expert instructor in traditional and contemporary styles. I moved back to Scotland for good in July of 2020.

Students in my classes receive my undivided attention as I guide them through sourcing their unique porcelain pieces and designing their pieces of porcelain art. Every piece of painted porcelain will be museum-quality; I can guarantee it. The different disciplines and techniques of porcelain painting that students will be introduced to throughout their painting journey will help them realize their full artistic potential.

Clients can ask me for bespoke designed pieces, and I will gladly deliver.

Both students and clients will be able to appreciate this subtle kind of art thanks to my efforts and my enthusiasm.

Stay safe and keep on painting.

Why Buy Upcycled Furniture?

The UK has a growing focus on sustainability and reducing our environmental impact. Buying upcycled furniture is a great way to contribute to this. Upcycled furniture is made from recycled materials, reducing the need for new, resource-intensive materials. Upcycling also helps reduce the amount of waste going into landfills. By buying upcycled furniture, you can help support sustainable businesses in the UK while also helping to reduce your own carbon footprint. Additionally, upcycled furniture often has a unique, one-of-a-kind look that can add a touch of individuality to any home or business.
