Cat's Eye Carving

Wave carving

This is a new sculpture in Tetbury limestone. It is approx 3ft high. This represents 2 days work.

I will post more photos as the carving develops.

Clay Maquettes

Here are some images of some clay models I have made for some new carvings. I would like to carve them on a large scale-2ft squarex 4ft high or long as one of them will be!

To give you some idea of scale, the 2 upright models sit on a 5″ piece of stone, and the reclining figure is on 2 next to each other.

How to find me at my new workshop

I have moved to Brockworth arts and craft centre. This is situated at the Brockworth Court and Tithe Barn. This is just off the M5, the A419 and situated between Churchdown and Ermin Street.

Please see the map below.

My workshop is situated at the back of the site-drive in the main entrance and park, walk past the entrance to the upholsterers workshop, you are in the main courtyard, look towards the stables on the left-there is a sculpture of a large iron horse!
 I have put my yellow and green signs pointing the way! these are only temporary and will be replaced with other ones at a later time!! I am in the barn at the back-my workshop is the one with all the stone outside!!!

The address:
The Tithe Barn Arts and Craft Centre,
Court Road,
Brockworth,
Gloucestershire,
GL34QU

At the moment it is not completely finished, but there will be signs, advertising and the all important website!!

Wish me luck!!

Slate carvings

Well here are the 1st three in the series of carvings in which I am exploring ripples.

I have found it quite a challenge carving the slate and trying to create movement in such a solid material.

I hope you like them.

Latest carvings

Well I have 3 carvings on the go at the moment!

My largest slate carving of ripples should be finished by Sunday-I will post a photo as soon as it’s finished.

One of the other 2 is based on a sculpture by Rodin, but obviously I have changed it to suit my style of carving, it is a siren on the rocks with a large wave breaking under her. This is carved in Portland stone.

The final one was started before I went to Norway as a test to see if I could create the carving I did in 2 days. There are slight differences-I can’t carve the same thing twice. She is proving a challenge as I have the idea in my head of what she should look like. It’s just creating those features in the stone!!

So when these are finished you can see for yourself.
