What We Do

ART • PLAY • ENVIRONMENTS

For over 40 years Scientific Art Studio has been a truly innovative design and fabrication studio. Our mission is to push the envelope of the best fabrication techniques to bring beauty and art to everything we do. Our multi-talented team designs and builds engaging exhibits, immersive and inclusive playgrounds, artistic sculptures, and themed environments globally. We are committed to making environments and art objects that ignite the imaginations of generations to come.  

A Master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.
— Francois Auguste Rene Chateaubriand

Who We Are

We are…

…artists, designers, sculptors, painters, welders, builders, crafters, fabricators, and - above all - dreamers. We live to see the world through new eyes, to play, create, and explore fearlessly. We relish challenges and expanding boundaries.

 

 

We are a family business who’s skilled craftspeople are dedicated to bringing unique ideas and wild dreams into implementation. We work with clients, architects, artists, and designers to create extraordinary places informed by nature and a sense of playful creativity.

 
 
The people at Scientific Art Studio are creative geniuses. When we brought them to our campus they immediately saw the enormous potential here. They heard what we are all about – enriching lives, building community…
— ZACK BODNER, CEO OF THE OFJCC

Where we work

Our Facility

In our childhood, the kitchen table was our painting easel, potter's wheel, laboratory table, or anything else the days' adventures required. That space was not limited or designated for one activity alone. Today, our expansive facility in Richmond, CA has achieved the same level of flexibility on a much larger scale.

 

 

We have the luxury of separate areas for the delicate fabrication processes such as textile work, CNC routing, 3D printing, painting, and design work. However, the majority of our workshops and outdoor space is used flexibly for sculpting, metal work, casting, model-making, wood work, blacksmithing, and much more. Today one area may be a rock carving station and the next day become a water feature testing facility. Our studio is constantly morphing into the next work environment, adjusting to accommodate each new project.
