Akers of Art
West Midlands
West Midlands
I create bespoke art works for both businesses and homes. I believe that art is wonderfully uplifting and can boost the atmosphere of any location making people feel more relaxed whilst boosting the ambience of a space and so I help interior designers and hotel/restaurant owners or individual wanting art for their homes to transform an area of their choosing, into a beautiful space with a one off sculpture, wall art or Mural that is handmade/painted to fit their requirements, by doing this the client is guaranteed to have the satisfaction of knowing that they can trust in me to deliver a unique experience from start to finish.

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I can provide a remote service for my workshops and also my sculptures as they can be posted but the murals have to be painted on location.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
In any meeting I wear a mask, currently I have not painted any murals but when I do will insure sanitised products and social distancing when necessary.
Bespoke Sculptural wall art
I create bespoke art work based on your specifications.
I mainly create tree sculptures, but I also use wire to create flowers and animals or musicians and instruments.
In my sculptures I use various thicknesses and colours of wire and semi-precious gemstones to create bespoke and unusual pieces that are fluid and winding like a beautiful tree but also have the rigidity and structure of the angular frame like the architecture I see all around me. I manipulate the wire into the form of the tree trunk and branches so each piece is unique. I don’t always use a frame and let the tree flow naturally into unusual forms. I love the use of the wire to create the wood like texture and when the light bounces off the metal and gemstones it creates an ethereal like quality.
Mural Painting
I can create a mural of any size based on your ideas and requirements, either in your home or a business location.
I also create murals in schools and community spaces.
Art Workshops
I currently do online workshops in Clay and jewellery making, perfect for parties. Hopefully moving to face to face parties when covid restrictions are lifted.
For all the workshops below I currently send out kits that have all the materials you will need to create something. I then use a zoom link to teach you on your chosen day and time.
A "Play with Clay" workshop for children where they can create monster pots, owls, fairy houses and more.
Create with Clay classes for adults - choose to make a clay lantern, a hanging decorative tile or even a clock
Jewellery making for kids - a workshop for children to create a lizard keyring, a necklace or a bracelet using large fun coloured beads
Adult Jewellery making classes - you can create a beautiful rose pendant, a pair of earrings or a pendant using wire wrapping techniques.
Once we move back to face to face I can bring all the materials needed to create the items so you only need to bring yourselves.
