2010 will be my third year exhibiting in Outside Art on 12-27th of June. At Russel's Quarry Garden and Avondale Library Garden near Coventry in Warwickshire.
Duncan Heather from the Oxford Garden Design School said
"Outside Art has quickly established itself as one of the 'must see' sculpture exhibitions of the year. Set in lovely surrounding, the artwork is wide-ranging in style and appeals to all tastes and budgets. If you have never been to a sculpture exhibition before, I recommend you go see this one. If you're an established collector, the choice is overwhelming, the prices very competitive and the service excellent."


Hi,
I have just spent an exhausting but productive morning in the workshop preparing a batch of clay for the next water feature. I hope it will be a new design ( if things work out as I imagine). I like to make new things as much as possible to vary the gallery page and to make a change from repeating designs. It gets the creative ideas going again and refreshes my approach to all the work. I have been having ideas about making tall column water features , I can make separate shapes which would stack together. The surface could be carved to create a texture for the water to run over. I would really love to make bigger things, for example a stack of pebble shapes of diminishing size. These water features could be many feet tall when assembled. I am willing to make drawings and discuss ideas if anyone thinks this sounds interesting.
Back to the bench now to make the large lump of clay into coils to make the body of the new one.
