Story Sculpture Trail…

Jul 18 2011

Tags: 0 Comments

At long last, I have found a project that fulfils a dream of mine! Back when I started the business, I always wanted to combine my passion for children’s book illustration and carving, and produce a sculpture trail that told a story!
Thanks to Sefton Council, I have been commissioned to create a sculpture trail in Deansgate Playing Fields in Formby. I am working with children from Freshfields Primary School to create a unique story that I will illustrate in 21 carvings around the playing fields.
Stay tuned for updates on the project!!

Hey everyone, I am still planning on running courses in carving, I have a lovely farm to work at now, it didn’t quite work out at the other place. I can carve under cover now, and have use of lifting gear for large pieces.

I will post about courses soon.

My new project – a foray into the world of creative landscaping – will hopefully come to fruition soon. I am looking for some woodland to purchase in North Wales to open up a sculpture trail along with the first of my Buried Giants.

Watch this space :)
