MUSE & ALCHEMY · CAPE TOWN

Unusual creative commissions in Cape Town

Some commissions do not arrive with a clear category or an obvious way forward. Muse & Alchemy works with unusual ideas, references and partly developed concepts, helping determine what the outcome needs and an appropriate route to making it real.

Selected work

Across different visual languages and unconventional briefs, selected work reflects an adaptable, cross-disciplinary approach. Each project calls for its own interpretation and a creative and technical response shaped by what it needs to become.

A commission shaped around the brief

The selected projects cross visual languages and forms, from character and wearable work to graphic and sculptural pieces. The value lies in interpreting the brief and bringing creative decisions and technical understanding together. Existing categories provide evidence of experience without setting the boundaries of a new project.

Starting the conversation

Describe the ambition, the intended use or setting, and what remains unresolved. References, scale, location, constraints, timing and a budget range all help. You do not need to know the correct material or process before getting in touch; explaining the problem is a useful place to begin.

Muse & Alchemy is led by Ryan Jarvis, Founder & Creative Director, drawing on more than two decades across art, design, development and making. Meet the creative director.
