James Brenner SculptureJames Brenner Sculpture - JIT Companies

We worked with James Brenner on the EDGE District Gateway Project in St. Petersburg, FL. James reached out to JIT Companies to help with some glass cutting and polishing. James’ art works range from community driven, interactive, and site specific projects; to large-scale, steel, glass and light sculptures, like this one.  JIT Companies loved having a part in this truly captivating work of art through precision water jet cutting, glass edge polishing, and developing custom assembly fixtures for this project.  James was happy with the collaboration and results, “The team at JIT has always worked with me to find good solution to how we can execute some of my crazy ideas. I am very particular, and their patience and professionalism is well matched to my creative personality. Thank you, JIT!”

JIT Companies had the opportunity to work with Demiurge, a Denver based design and fabrication firm that has some of the most creative minds imaginable. Specializing in public art installations, they bring their creations to a level of ingenuity that is to be truly admired. For this project, Demiurge was commissioned to design several art installations at the beautiful Beaver Creek Ski Resort, located in the pristine mountains of Colorado. There were many incticicate details and collaboration in this project, and JIT Using JIT’s waterjet and CNC glass polishing technology, 1/2” low iron glass was used for the project which was then tempered after processing. JIT also etched several densities of snow flake designs into sections of the glass surface which give the 3D illusion of falling snow when standing within the structure.
