The Sculpture Studio undertakes commission for private individuals and corporate clients.
Harrogate Grammar School - 2005
Harrogate Grammar School commissioned The Sculpture Studio to provide a piece to commemorate the 60 year anniversary of World War II. The school had a clear vision of the sculpture they wanted to create, which involved sculpting three life size figures for their new Library development. Three students from the school modeled and were sculpted in clay and then cast into cold cast bronze. Stundents contributed to the piece by sculpting hundreds of poppies that were used for the base of the piece.

Harewood Infant School - 2006
For Harewood Infant School we developed a concept for an internal courtyard, next to a library, that was under untilised. The current project was ’self’ so we cast 200 children’s hands and feet to produce cube sculptures and a pathway of footprints. The cubes double as seating so that the children can sit as a group and be read to. Each print has initials so children can find their handprint for years to come.
We did a day of prep work with the students where I went into each class and talked about sculpture and what we were going to create. The children then made their own cut out 3D hand prints and stuck them onto cubes, so that they would be able to understand how their handprints would be used.
Winchcombe School - 2007
A group of young and gifted students worked with teacher Brian Oleary and myself to produce 8ft high lillys and enlarged pollen from willow and tissue paper. These were then hung in the entrance foyer of the school and make a very impressive display.
Stone School - 2007
During two days I went into the school and produced 6 x 6ft standing flamingoes with years 5&6, 15 puppet flamingoes with years 3&4 and some flamingoe mobiles with years 1&2. It was a real challenge to create a project that covered the whole of the school and allowed each age group to contribute towards an end display. The staff at Stone School were exceptional and worked very hard to realise this project.
