The statues are beautiful. Your concern to detail was unbelievable and your knowledge of tradition helped a dream to become a reality. Finally the people of the parish can honor St. Joseph and better understand their patron St. Marcelline.

As the owner's representative I am happy to say that inspired Artisans and SMSA developed and maintained a great partnership throughout the entire project. You and your firm's involvement, vision and splendid artistry, within Our Lady of the Ledge Chapel, have left a mark of excellence for years, if not generations to come.

Jerry Lauby - Owner's RepresentativeView this project

From the outset of this project, we were impressed by the open line of communications you provided and we readily welcomed the opportunity to be involved in the initial design and creative process. Once production of the mosaics began, your periodic updates enabled us to witness their creation and also gave us the opportunity to use the images you provided as a means of generating enthusiasm within our community. The mosaics were delivered on time and the installation was thoroughly professional.

Gianfranco and Gino are excellent to work with. They listen to your input on what we "think we want" and take that and use their creative minds to offer suggestions. They also work well with other vendors, contractors and architects that are involved with your project. Inspired Artisans become part of your team.

Inspired Artisans are a hands on supportive firm that supported our desire to expand and update our church baptismal font. Every step along the process they listened, they came back with updated designs and ideas and brought them to life. The completed projected exceeded our hopes and ideas as we were planning the project.

The results are pouring in and the consensus is: spectacular. Parishioners just stand in front of the statues staring at them for several minutes. One woman was in tears. The statues of Mary and Elizabeth are quickly becoming a destination of pilgrimage and prayer for parishioners. You did a wonderful job in creating these statues for our church. I (and all of us) are so grateful...thank you for…your beautiful works of art. God bless you in your future work

Gianfranco and Gino Tassara of Inspired Artisans listen to your needs. They work with you at every step of the process. They provide you with a product that is your vision. The uniqueness and quality are second to none

I would imagine every artist wants the art to SHINE, but the artist also needs to balance this desire with the desire to make the customer happy. I didn't experience any conflict between these two desires. I appreciated the patience and help designing the mosaic. The communication was good and the responses were swift. Our parish is very pleased with our new mosaic!

Inspired Artisans was recommended to me many years ago. I was able to work with Gianfranco Tassara on several projects with two different Catholic Churches. I find him to be approachable, one who listens carefully to the needs of the customer, and responsive to the needs of the customer until "the" desired goal is reached. The quality of workmanship is excellent and truly inspirational. I look forward to working with Gianfranco Tassara and Inspired Artisans again.

The detail for design and interaction with the clients was outstanding. The communication in the early design phase was very good and helped that the team was able to develop something very fitting to what the Jesuits were asking for. The delivery and installation occurred with some delays but Gino kept us informed and up to date on what was going on. Communication, care, attention to details make this a great company/team to work with.

This is the fourth time in twenty years that I have worked with Inspired Artisans on chapel projects. They have brought innovative solutions to enhance the worship experience, and the artisans they use for Mosaics and Marble work are excellent.

Rev. Francis Joseph HoffmanView this project

Working with Gino and his team was seamless! The process from our idea to Gino's vision and execution was flawless and exceeded all our expectations. I would recommend them to anyone in the future.
