I — Shropshire

From a stable in the
country landscape.

The studio occupies a converted horse stable in rural Shropshire: a quiet place of old brick, timber and changing northern light. The countryside sets the pace.

II — The practice

Between measured observation and the beautiful irregularity of the Shropshire landscape, we make work with a quiet human presence.

Each piece begins as a drawing, before being built in clay over weeks or months. Marks from the hand remain: evidence of pressure, revision and time.

IV — Private commissions

A likeness. A memory. A presence.

Made for a
particular place.

From intimate portrait studies to full-scale figurative work, each commission is a close conversation between sitter, sculptor and material.
