Large Unique Ceiling Centres

WCAPadmin15 Blog, Uncategorized

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a plastered room in possession of a high ceiling must be in need of a rose.  An appropriate ceiling centre in place within a period room can bring the space to life with its detail, shadows and ornament.

The above ceiling clay leaf model centre was hand made in the Whitechapel Art Plaster Company work shop. No 3D printers, no computer graphics, no CNC, router cutting or copying. Four components were sculptured in clay using hand and eye to create individual works of art. They were then used as models to make the moulds which produced the casts for repeat formations along with two singular central features. Craftsmanship was then employed to extract the plaster from the moulds before the tradesman skills necessary to install this ceiling centre enabled the project to be completed. The finished result is shown below.
