ABOUT US
Our founder
Back in 1974, Geoff Howell started college, going for a Fine Arts degree at Mount Saint Mary's in Emitsburg, Md. studying under a graduate from the Baltimore Institute College of Art, focusing on painting, who encouraged Geoff to go to a better art school. The following year, Geoff moved to New York City to study at Pratt Institute, majoring in Communications Design, with a focus in Illustration, Ceramics, Photography, Art History and Typography. An avid museum goer, world traveler, problem solver, gallery visiter, creative director, decorative painter, designer and curator of exhibits, architectural historian, and art and antiques collector, he prides himself in a deep knowledge of fabrication techniques. Through a lifetime of making things, together with the people who work here, we offer a collective experience of many decades in the arts.
OUR COMPANY
With over 35 years in business, Geoff Howell Studio's dedication, experience and expertise has allowed us to successfully fulfill any client’s needs in three dimensions. We are fully staffed to create anything you need in metal, wood, acrylic, fabric or foam, sculpted, turned, laminated, or finished to a fare-thee-well. We have lighting, sound, A/V, electrical and motorized gizmo expertise. We also build crates, manage shipping, cover things with graphics, print graphics and cut vinyl signage. Fine quality fabrication, in art, props, creative design, interior/exterior event installations...we have expertise and experience in it all, and having all these specialities under one roof makes us gold mine of potential. Please visit www.geoffhowellstudio.com to see more of what we've been up to since the beginning!
OUR LOCATION
We are conveniently located in Long Island City, a block and a half from the MoMA admin building in a secure 50,000 square foot ground floor facility with a large loading dock. We have ceilings up to 16 feet high, so relatively large scale production is not an issue. The services that we offer under one roof will reduce your costs exponentially, removing the need for handling and shipping from one fabricator to the next.
