Custom Cast Stone Fire Surrounds
Custom Cast Stone Fireplace Surrounds by Garnet Studio, Edmonton area and Alberta
Below are examples of the Custom Cast Stone Fireplace Surrounds that we have created for clients in the Edmonton, Alberta area. We have created very intricate sculpted pieces to the simple, less ornate. Our Custom Cast Stone and Concrete Fire Surrounds are a "one of" and are never duplicated. This is our guarantee to our customer. Their cast stone fireplace surround will be a unique work of Art.
"Book of Secrets"
Custom
Custom Cast Stone Fireplace Surround.
This cast stone fireplace surround has four full figures, more than two dozen sculpted heads and double sided heads. The piece reflects the artistic expression of humanity, our ignorance and our awakedness when we learn and become aware. Thus, the name, Book of Secrets. Featured in "Builder Magazine", The Edmonton Journal, and numerous other publications.
"Book of Secrets" by Garnet Studio
This Custom Cast Stone Fireplace Surround was created for a builder who wanted something unique and original. This two sided piece took three months to create for homebuilder "Mosaic Homes" from the Edmonton area.
Parts of this piece were sculpted onsite, much the same way that we create our architecturally sculpted murals.

Dark Stone Finish
Completed without top section and then
added later to create more drama on a very high wall.
Trish, Gary and Family had a real love of the "Harry Potter" movies and wanted a
fire surround that was " something of the Gothic or Medieval type, kind of like an old castle feel to it" Trish

"Mother Nature"
Custom 1990
Our first Fire Surround for our own home.
We needed a mantel and having just graduated from the U of A with a degree in Art and Design, With a background in sculpture, I experimented with various products, most of them cementious and developed a way to sculpt the concrete. Our sculpting mediums have evolved since this time, and we no longer cast our pieces as solid units. We also use a new product that has a pure white colour with the ability to add colour, resulting in practically any possible finish.
Detail from "Mother Nature"
A symbol for life and abundance. Filled with the fruits of the Earth, and welcoming visitors to our house to share and enjoy.
