We worked with Studio Tac to create the unique sculpture to be used as a feature element for the touring Gorillaz band
The sculpture was hand carved based form various image references supplied to us by Studio Tac together with some creative freedom to sculpt.
We used high density PU foam to carve as this allows for more in depth detail for the sculpture measuring at 800mm high inc base.
The sculpture was then coated with FR polyurea in order to create a water and impact resistant surface. Once coated the sculpture was spray painted and decorated ready to go on tour! We also created a custom case for the sculpture to keep it stored safely + practical transport. Have a look below at some images!
We were commissioned by Hatfield estate to create 50 1m high white top hats!
The concept was specifically designed by Hatfield to get community involved & creative by painting and decorating the hats with bright colours and patterns and to bring adventure by spotting them around the estate and Hat field.
The hats are created from polyurea coating which is a waterproof / impact resistant coating.
See below some highlights of our production, all 50 hats were created in house by us in Cornwall!
It was great to work on an inspiring project brought by Discover London’s story centre
We were commissioned by Discover to create Dr Seuss themed elements.
The elements had to be as close as possible to the illustrations of the iconic DR Seuss, bright imaginative and quirky whilst being hardwearing + practical.
Have a look below to see what we created!
We created 4 colourful trees, each with an individual tree top shape. The trees were made from an internal aluminium structure for extra durability with an aluminium base. The outer material is polystyrene which was hand carved, coated with FR polyurea to ensure the trees are to be water proof + durable and impact resistant. All trees were then primed and spray painted with a top coat to required colour number.
The cave like tunnel!
We created the tunnel to fit perfectly the interior space of the story centre.
The tunnel had to be made in several sections as it had to fit through a standard size entrance.
The tunnel was hand carved out of EPS, coated with FR polyurea, primed , spray painted and decorated to finish.

We were commissioned by Discover story centre in London to transform an adult tricycle in to the fun and interactive Dr Seuss car from his book The cat in the hat. Discover supplied us with the adult tricycle ready to transform. The main body of the car was carved from EPS, made in 2 sections, coated with fr polyurea which is water + impact resistant and spray painted to required colour. The cars various components were created using a combination of materials and a variety of techniques such as carving, welding, spray painting, coating to achieve final interactive and fun result! When transforming the bike we had to keep as close as possible to the original concept of the Dr Seuss illustration whilst making sure it would be durable and practical. The car is fully usable and the main body is removable for ease of transport etc. We cant wait to see the fun bike in action at events, It will be amazing to see the dr Seuss bike out and about making people smile!

Bespoke over sized hand with moving wooden elements
We were commissioned by Practical Minds Ltd to create a bespoke piece for special window display for an incredible fashion designer. We created an over sized mannequin hand with movable fingers, and chrome effect studs.
The hand was made from a combination of materials, for the finger tips and base we used beech wood and the palm was carved from EPS, coated with FR polyurea and spray painted black. We created an inner structure to make the fingers position adjustable like a mannequin. The studs were created with a wood turner and then spray painted to a chrome effect.

We were commissioned by artist / sculptor Rob Leighton to scale up his sculpture to an approx 2.5m high sculpture. We worked closely with Robert in order to replicate the curves and proportion’s as close as possible.
We carved the sculpture out of polystyrene, installed weight support and the base, coated with FR coating polyurea, primed the sculpture. Rob finished his scaled up sculpture with a beautiful coloured and patination effect. His enlarged sculpture can be seen at the exhibition at Chilstone Nr. Tunbridge Wells, Kent. The sculpture looks truly unique and stunning in situ! We were delighted to be able to collaborate with Rob on his sculpture.

Rob Leighton – Sculptor
“ICACreation are a first class company to work with. Communication throughout was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. Despite being hundreds of miles away I was kept constantly updated with work as it progressed by email and digital images; emails being responded too on the same day, often within minutes of my sending). Kamil is highly skilled, generous and professional. I cannot thank him enough for his support. I look forward to working with him again in the near future.”
We were commissioned by Juergen Teller Ltd to create two of 1.20m in diameter size dinner plates with HQ images applied onto each plate. To create the plates we first made a mould. From this we created the plates with fibre glass. Once the plates were smooth we applied a base coat and topcoat spray paint with a high gloss white finish. Once completely dry we vinyl wrapped the plates with the required HQ images.

With our days filling up with sunshine in beautiful Cornwall we can feel the spring fast approaching!
Spring is a wonderful sense of beginning of nature blossoming, and as the weather gets warmer we all look forward to new sensations with vibrant colours, that’s why we wanted to share with you some of our colourful projects which we have been lucky enough to create!
We spray paint with high quality lacquers, we also use the airbrush technique for more detailed pieces.
We can achieve a range of finishes and textures including smooth, matt, high gloss and when required a rough texture as realistic as possible.We can spray paint with metallic paint + clear coat for an extra shine, we use Pantone, RAL and metallic colour numbers to our clients spec for great results, the paints we use are weather proof and are made to last.
So whether a project requires a classic one colour finish or contemporary / smooth and glossy or just bursting with colours with high detail, we love to make that happen in the best way possible for a great visual impact with quality results.
We are always happy to advise on the most practical options.
We are currently in the process of testing with our paint supplier for a range of water based colours and soon will introduce this option to our clients as still a durable option but more environmental friendly.
Have a look at some images of our projects which include props, sculptures, special display, art installations and experimental marketing elements! Enjoy the colours!
