Original Question:

I am looking for a recommendation for Plinth, base and Vitrine construction in London. Can anyone please suggest good companies to use?

Here's a couple of places White Wall - http://thewhitewall.co.uk/display-items/ Big Soda - http://www.bigsoda.co.uk/plinth-fabrication/ Darbyshire - http://www.darbyshire.uk.com/artist-services/ Fish Fabrications - mainly work in metal http://fishfabrications.co.uk/ Acrylic Design - http://www.acrylicdesign.co.uk/#&panel1-1 Scotland - https://make.works/blog/ten-fabricators-in-scotland However there are quite a few freelance techs that make plinths for some extra cash - if you have specific needs let me know and I can put an advert on the main site for you if you like?

The New York gallery Luxembourg & Dayan hosted ‘In the Making: Artists, Assistants, and Influence’ – a show tracing the link between artists and their (eventually famous) assistants. Interesting the role of the artist assistant is not only being recognised but also celebrated - well done them - although I think it will take a while for other galleries to catch on to dispelling the myth of the artist as sole creator. http://www.wallpaper.com/art/helping-hand-luxembourg-dayan-lauds-recognition-onto-artists-assistants-for-a-change

Make Works have a great article about fabricators in Scotland. It gives a really good broad cross section of fabrication for the art and artefact world and shows all the many things which must be fabricated for our world. Find the article at https://make.works/blog/ten-fabricators-in-scotland

Looking to realise your artistic vision on a larger scale? Art fabricators can be helpful partners in bringing your monumental ideas to reality as discussed in this article by ArtWork Archives
