THE GNOME PROJECT
Studio Editions
Refinements from the studio bench—
bronze, mineral, and limited runs tuned for detail with a classic finish
Concrete gnomes populate the map; they carry the story into the world.
​
Studio Editions take those same forms and refine them—cold-cast bronze surfaces, mineral cores, and finishes tuned by hand. Pieces with weight and longevity.
​
Each mini also serves a purpose: fueling the creation of new full-scale gnomes and helping keep the project moving forward.
We begin this next step with Zephyr V2.
Current Edition
Zephyr V2 Mini (cold-cast bronze)
What began as a detail test became a limited edition.
Zephyr V2 is cold-cast bronze—bronze powder bonded in resin—then hand-burnished and polished.
A mineral/cement core gives real heft, so it looks and feels like metal without the solid-bronze price.
Each finish is unique.

Why Studio Editions
The concrete gnomes are made to move and change hands, carrying the story into new places.
These are the field pieces-meant to be found, scanned, and nudged along—some lasting longer than others. Some disappearing completely.
Studio Editions serve a different role: the minis are refinements that also become the vehicle helping to fuel the larger project—tokens and reminders that carry the same spirit of the project while setting the tempo for what comes next.
