Christine makes stone classical and modern female figures, animal and water features, garden sculpture and statuary. She specialises in figurative garden sculpture with a personal and authentic touch.
Christine sculpts in either clay or wax. Her figurative work is always directly from observation. She says: “I love natural forms, really looking and understanding the structure, the volume, the weight and the balance. If you get all these things right then the result is always beautiful and pleasing.” Christine produces her work either in cast stone, bronze resin or bronze.

Mike studied sculpture in Bridgnorth, Shropshire, for over two years, after retiring from a 32-year career in engineering design and manufacture. He has also studied wax modelling, moulding and casting at West Dean College. He manufactures his own moulds and cast pieces in plaster, cement fondue and terracotta, and has work cast in bronze or other metals by a specialist foundry. His latest work is in stainless steel and explores the essential elements of plant forms. All this work is of a welded construction and is designed for external display within the garden environment, or as indoor arrangements.

Kevin is a stone carver who uses a wide range of stone types in his work. Many of the standing stones are of sandstone from the Forest of Dean and Derbyshire, his relief carvings and indoor sculptures are of limestone, Italian Alabaster and marble and the outdoor sculptures are in Cotswold limestone, Italian Marble and Iranian Onyx.
Kevin’s early sculptures were influenced by archaeological excavations­, progressing through an exploration of geological, geometric and nautical forms and developing with a group of sculptures based on diatoms, plankton and pollen − art of the invisible.

After relocating from Cheshire twelve years ago, Dartmouth artist Bob Dawson draws inspiration from Devon’s marine environment. He says: "I like to experiment and my work continues to evolve.”
Bob’s sculptures are inspired by environmental and maritime issues taken from studies of the South West coast line. Available in ceramic, bronze and metal resin, they are extremely tactile and rich in surface texture. These abstract works combine natural and manmade forms.

Martin is a figurative artist working in clay who has his work produced in bronze and bronze resin. He says: “I try to produce powerful dramatic sculptures with a beauty of form. Sculpture should be tactile, making the viewer want to interact physically as well as visually. With a lifetime fascination with the way the body moves, I find myself drawn to dancers, especially contemporary dance rather that classical ballet. I enjoy the challenge of capturing the essence of movement, balance and tension with a static sculpture.”

Matt makes installations and sculptures. He is an international artist, curator and glass innovator based in London. His art practice revolves around the material of glass and its qualities, often incorporating it into large scale installations and sculptures. Another aspect to his practise is the experimental innovation in glass. He says: “There remains the truism that the moment still exists when, in mid-flow, the molten glass can change direction and the artist’s skills can capitalise on the moment.”

Karen creates a variety of small handmade garden sculptures in a gritty clay called Crank. She says: “I started making thrown domestic ware, then discovered handbuilding. I now make most of my work using coiling, slabbing, pinching, modelling and carving techniques. I have always been interested in gardening, and this, together with the influence of the Somerset landscape are my main influences. The clay I use gives a warm light brown colour and interesting surface textures when scraped, carved or polished. Some pieces are inlaid with porcelain, which gives a pleasing contrast of colour and texture.”

Angela has created a collection of elegant sculptures based on the female form. Originally specialising in ceramics, she now uses a range of materials including bronze and bronze resin.
She has an unnerving skill in depicting the female form in all of its glory, somehow capturing the modern idiom, whilst at the same time preserving the traditional values of classical figurative sculpture. Angela captures the poise and elegance of the catwalk model and the essence of seduction within the semi-naked figure.

Lynette began her career as a commercial artist and later developed an interest in sculpture and contemporary stained glass. However it is an interest in kiln-formed glass that has resulted in her exploration of different glass forming techniques. Often taking inspiration from nature there is frequently a uggestion of fluidity and movement within her work.

Donald creates abstract sculptures in which he tries to express the beauty that exists in simple shapes: flowing lines, subtly curved edges, negative spaces defined by surrounding forms. Sometimes his pieces suggest forms in the real world, perhaps human or animal. He says: “This is the opposite of conceptual art: there is no message, you do not have to ‘understand’ the piece. You either like what you see or you don’t.”

Peter creates functional and sculptural hand built ceramics for the home and garden from his studio in Gloucester. He says: “At different times I become absorbed in the human figure, architecture or the natural world; pretty much everything! However, underlying much of my work is a fascination in artefacts from the past such as ancient Chinese bronzes, medieval carvings and pre-Renaissance biblical imagery.”

Katie’s works encompass mosaic in the widest possible sense with colour in a diverse style, reflecting many moods with texture, patterns and light. She says: “Colour flows through all our lives in many different forms and I love to translate all my inspiration into my work. Mosaic for me is the creation and building of ‘something else’ from so many tiny pieces of glass and mirror into ‘one whole statement’– a finished piece of work.” Her work is totally immersed in the connection between ‘Art in Nature’, which is why she enjoys so much creating original, quality pieces of work for all outdoor spaces.

Daren usually works in steel, often using bicycle parts. He also works with other materials, such as polymers, if appropriate. Daren enjoys the challenge of taking everyday objects and reinterpreting them in new and unexpected contexts, elements which are expressed strongly in his metal sculptures. He says: “I individually hand make my own designs. These are completely original, unique and immediately recognisable as my work."

Jude is a versatile artist who takes inspiration from the world around her, line and form being her main interest as well as a fascination with patterns.
Her work is heavily influenced by that of the Russian Constructivist artists such as Rodchenko and Gabo. A contemporary favourite is Antony Gormley. She enjoys construction forms that employ areas of negative space to give the illusion of a solid form.

Wendy Henley is a multi-media artist creating both 2 and 3D forms that are a vehicle for her feelings about human nature, society and how we live our lives. Her work draws on the symbolic and metaphorical potential of illogical combinations. This works on different levels and is resistant to straight forward interpretation; encouraging the viewer to look at things differently thereby engendering a multiplicity of responses, as the prime motive of her work is to give rise to discussion.

Silas creates a wide selection of meticulously calibrated traditional and contemporary sundials and armillary spheres. Each dial is crafted by hand and given a polished finish. Bronze dials may be patinated as an optional extra. Beautiful sculptural forms in their own right as well as being some of the most accurate and carefully made pieces of their kind available.

After several years of compulsively carving and essentially reducing material into simple compact sculptural forms, Angela began a journey of exploring the construction of materials. This has enabled the creation of diverse complex surface areas that penetrate the surrounding space with a totally different dynamic. She says: “I especially enjoy the juxtapositions of raw hard concrete with sleek machine cut shiny metals, or enduring stone with seemingly vulnerable slumped and fused glass.”

Born and brought up in North Devon, Briony draws inspiration from the wild, salty air of the Atlantic coast. She says: “The rocky headlands and mossy, fertile valleys give me a feeling for structure, texture and form that, from an early age, I have wanted to translate into sculpture. There are several distinct strands in my sculpture, broadly defined under ‘wood’, ‘stone’ and ‘clay’. Whatever the medium, I always seem to turn to natural forms – whether human or plant forms or the landscape itself.”

Lyndon is a sculptor born and bred in Wales, who takes the steel and cast iron of our industrial heritage and fashions from it art that shows the inherent beauty in the sweat and toil of industrial processes. ­­Fifteen years ago he began carving, initially in wood and then in stone. Barbara Hepworth’s work – first encountered in Cardiff – was a huge influence. He now works mainly in cast iron and steel.

Originally creating large figurative pieces in stone and marble, Ian moved to stainless steel and glass. His subjects have always been drawn from nature, but whereas the stone sculptures were embodiments of natural forms the new works go much deeper, expressing the very juxtaposition of our place in the world, torn between our man-created modern lifestyles and the natural world to which we belong.

Ama's animal sculptures and wall plaques focus primarily on threatened species in the UK, and celebrate the success stories. They are stylistically inspired by etchings, woodblock prints, early 20th century illustration and Art Deco stone carving. Ama works in clay, which either becomes fired stoneware, or is cast into metal resin or into bronze.

Miranda creates one-of-a-kind wildlife and equine sculptures in steel. The use of steel enables her to portray the movement and lightness that is the essence of wild things, but also their power and strength. She is completely self taught and has developed a style and technique that is entirely her own. There is no casting or reproduction involved.

Glenn has visited the Arctic over twenty times and has lived and hunted with the Inuit people both in Greenland and in Arctic Canada. His work is both inspired and informed by the combination of beauty and harshness of the northern environment and by the narrative work of the Inuit peoples. He works predominantly in stone and mixed media using traditional carving techniques to create forms that appear abstract but are often based on real encounters in the Arctic.

Angela’s sculpture is a direct response to the human form, aiming to catch through the inclination of the head or the tilt of the shoulders a spiritual connection in each figure. Most are sculptures of women created in her studio in the Wye Valley working with a model. She makes the sculpture in clay which is then cast in bronze resin. The sculptures are suitable for garden settings and interiors ranging from small table pieces to life size.

Jo’s unique ceramic sculptures celebrate the ornamental. Her style developed from observation of the decorative on a grand scale; features such as ornate plasterwork ceilings, wrought iron gates and carved stone. As each clay piece is created, tools or the hand make marks in the surface to accentuate depth and direction. The pieces are then joined together to create a unique form which offers suggestions about musicality, direction, rhythm and shadow.

Bob is an artist working in the medium of stained glass. His passion is for glass and the life held within it. He tries to use it in the same way a painter uses paint from their pallette to produce both colour and texture. He draws inspiration from nature, using flowing lines which suit his chosen medium. His work does not set out to challenge or shock but simply to give as much pleasure to the person looking at it as he has had in designing and making it.

Philip gains his inspiration from observing our natural environment as well as the intricate layers of humanity. He works with stainless steel for its reflective and contemporary qualities and bronze for its patination effects. He creates contemporary public sculptures, for both interior and exterior, garden sculptures that are inspired by nature.

The partnership of Victoria Govan & Richard Warner. Using a fusion of traditional blacksmithing skills – hot bending and manipulation, drawing and shaping – and state of the art industrial metalworking techniques –CNC plasma, laser and water cutting – they make contemporary and unusual steel sculpture to complement and enhance a garden. The pieces are intended to brighten winter borders as much as to create focus and depth. All their work is hand forged steel which is galvanised.
