Practik is an artwork fabrication and installation specialist based in Seattle, WA. We transform creative concepts into realized artwork to enrich our cultural landscape, celebrate diversity, and inspire dialogue.

Co-founders Chelsea Gaddy (Force/Collide) and Ignacio Lopez (Fabrication Specialties, Seattle Art Museum, Force/Collide) bring a combined 40 years of experience in custom metal fabrication, fine art production, studio art practice, and large-scale installation.

We at Practik are uniquely positioned to operate at the intersection of technical proficiency and creative collaboration by balancing effective project management, precision craftsmanship, and artistic integrity in each project. As the pipeline between an artist’s vision and collectors, we translate high-level designs into meticulous fabrication plans with commitment to structural integrity, aesthetic excellence and artist intent.

Practik adds value to the design process through extensive knowledge of material science, constructibility, finishes, and means of production. Large-scale projects are executed successfully, safely and on time with exceptional organization. From blueprint to final installation, Practik facilitates a web of coordination with key stakeholders: client, artist, engineer, architects, subcontractors and the community at large – for the the greater goal to engage, inspire and connect.
