Bedrooms for teens can be very challenging but when you're painting a mural, you want to kick a subject matter that your son or daughter won't grow out of quickly. For this client, there was not doubt in this young man's mind about what we were going to paint. This was not a hobby or interest he would grow out of anytime soon and such a fun project! The mural on the adjacent wall incorporated a surfboard hut with a 3-D thatch roof and surfboard.

Arbutus/Madrone trees are a common subject that our clients gravitate to with our glass. We use the sand bed of the kiln to depict the ebb and flow of the ocean, as well as the stippled foliage of the tree itself. The unique nature of our client's spaces means that every panel of glass will be individual to the client. We are always keen to take on new design challenges - what can we do for your space?

While remaining at the forefront of design, Henzel Studio’s foundation and raison d’être lies in the artisanal production of local communities in Nepal that dates back thousands of years. Through a twelve-step handmade process, Henzel Studio’s rugs are unique works of art. The organic and artistic process of Calle Henzel has been the driving force in the development of Henzel Studio’s designs. He has over the years in an uncompromised fashion challenged the traditional conventions of subject matter, shape, finishings and special treatments as a result of painstaking research that includes vintage treatments, intricate surface compositions and even natural erosion – methodologies that further blur the distinction between art and design.

IF YOU TRULY KNOW HOW TO DRAW AND PAINT, YOU CAN PAINT ANY SUBJECT MATTER AND BE COMFORTABLE DOING IT. YOUR WISH IS MY DESIRE. A client, you also happens to be a dear friend, called and asked if I could paint one of the Star Trek space ships. He was renovating his in-home theatre room and wanted a Star Trek Theme. I forgot the exact name of this particular star ship, (you Trekkies out there will know the one), it is one of the newer ones. He told me of his new project, which was this Space Ship to be painted as if he were looking out of the viewing window of his own Space Ship, into deep space, at this newer spectacular Space Ship. I had not painted deep space before, nor had I even painted a Star Ship Enterprise! However, it was quite fun and there were design challenges I had to solve. One of the challenges was the large immobile cabinet which held special equipment for movies and sound. I had to "skinny" a ladder in between the cabinet and the wall that I needed to paint. Then the question was how to get in there and paint! (Gymnastics were employed, ... wish I had a video to watch the re-runs of that scene! lol) (The Star Ship Mural was the first step in his renovations, so these photos still have drop cloths on the floor and painting "stuff".) As with every new commission, I learned all kinds of wonderful things. I had to acquire photos of Quazars, and Black Holes, and Milky Ways. Charting out where and how to paint them into deep space... which is B-L-A-C-K! .....But, is it????? Want to know what colours make deep space? Email me and I will give you a painting tip about how this was accomplished: talin@talinsstudio.com Close up of a Quazar. Another design challenge was how to realistically paint thousands of stars without it looking "Hockey".
