Our expert team has many years of experience, having worked on both restoration and new build projects for some of the most prestigious buildings in the UK, Europe, North America, Canada and Australia.
We have the specialist skills required to design, sculpt, match and produce terracotta and faience to the highest standard to restore any building.
Because handmade terracotta and faience offer practically unlimited design flexibility for shape, size and colour, the only real limit is your imagination.
Darwen Terracotta and Faience has extensive experience in retail frontage and interior applications, alongside having worked with some of the biggest names in fashion, art and beyond to create stunning, diverse works.
