Recent works

Recent activity has produced some life drawing, a few final touches on the self portrait and a bit more steady progress on the good doctor's hand commission- it's definitely a case of 'measure twice, cut once' to ensure the hand will hold the ceramic ball nicely and look like the client's hand. Monday sees me working with studio-mate James Oughtibridge to make a replica of a particular type of stone for a roofing manufacturer to cast tiles for a national trust property.

Here's a complete time lapse video of my epic laocoon drawing, one of those being shown at the Whitewall MK exhibition from 5th February to 5th March. I'll post a flyer here too.

Insert hand pun here

I spent this afternoon measuring up for a commission. The client has commissioned a sculpture of his hand holding a ball for his wife. Before any carving can start there are lots of measurements to take from photographs. This is the third time I've started this as the pieces of walnut and cherry I initially selected were both rotten. Luckily I discovered this fairly quickly and I had already warned the client that things might take a while.
