Willow Sculpture

Willow is a wonderful natural medium for outdoor sculpture. After soaking it becomes pliable enough to sculpt into almost any shape while remaining light weight and weather resistant.

The Willow

Working with willow is rather like drawing in 3 dimensions. It is a wonderful natural medium with unique characteristics and a low impact on the environment. The willow that I use is processed and sustainably grown on the Somerset Levels here in the UK. There are a number of different varieties and colours of willow each with its own texture, strength and flexibility. I would be  delighted to take commissions of any animal required.

Please see my gallery page for examples of my work

and do not hesitate to contact me via my contacts page. 

Wire Sculpture

Wire is a material that has great versitility when used as a sculptural medium There are a huge number of different metals, finishes and gauges of wire each  with their own properties and characteristics. I like to use silver wire for very small jewel-like sculptures and chicken wire for larger outdoor pieces
