We’re Olivia Engelhardt and Tessa-Rose Vardy and together we form Plaster Paris Studio.

Conceived between contrasting island ateliers; one in the Ibiza mountains, the other in Ile Saint Louis - the heart of Paris; our studio create unexpected, artisanal objects of function and desire, merging a unique set of cross-cultural experiences into a harmonious equilibrium of brutalism and bohemia.

This is a visual diary of the making of our recent exhibition ‘Birds Eye View’ in Paris.
