Comfort zones don’t teach you much.
Some of our favorite work happens when we slow down and build with other people.
Collaborative Residencies are projects where Mammoth Shop partners closely with artists, designers, and creative teams to explore materials, form, and meaning together. These are not just builds, they’re shared investigations. We bring our fabrication expertise, realism, and material discipline into a space where experimentation is encouraged and the outcome isn’t fully known at the start.
The result is work that feels personal, intentional, and deeply considered pieces that empower the bodies, spaces, or stories they inhabit, and leave everyone involved with something stronger than they started with.

ADORNMENT FOR EVERY BODY
Empowering RelicsThis collaborative residency brought together our shop and a group of deeply thoughtful sculptors to explore personal adornment through weight, texture, and presence. Together, we hand-sculpted and cast a series of concrete necklaces for a runway show, each piece developed around its own theme and finished with gold leaf, rusted metal, and layered patina.
What mattered most was not novelty, but embodiment. The sculptors were meticulous and generous in their process, attentive to how each form sat on the body, how weight shifted posture, how rough material could feel grounding rather than restrictive. These pieces were designed for androgynous bodies—intended to empower, not decorate; to feel deliberate, not ornamental.
Heavy materials became elegant. Industrial processes became intimate. The work lived at the intersection of strength, vulnerability, and self-possession—an experiment in making objects that ask to be worn with confidence and presence.
