TTS Studios partners with artists, brands, and creative teams to transform ambitious ideas into expertly-crafted and experiences.
From touring Broadway shows and museum exhibits, to premium events and experiential marketing installations, to permanent sculptures and architectural build-outs; every project we build is custom. We do not make the same things every day; we get to solve new engineering and fabrication challenges every week.
Our 40,000-square-foot facility in North Charleston combines traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing. CNC routing, waterjet cutting, metal fabrication, woodworking, paint, engineering, digital design, and a growing collection of fabrication technology all work together under one roof.
The equipment matters, but the way we work matters just as much. We care about excellent work, honest communication, continued learning, and treating people with respect. We expect leaders to notice what is happening around them, help the people beside them succeed, and take responsibility for improving the systems they inherit. TTS Studios proudly serves the artistic and creative communities around the country as well as here in the Lowcountry.
