  • Jamie Lord

    Jamie Lord

    Jamie Lord is an award-winning wildlife sculptor and modelmaker whose work is inspired by the delicate balance and quiet power of the natural world. He seeks to capture the true essence, spirit, and individuality of each subject, believing a powerful sculpture should feel alive, as though it is looking back at you. Through a deep understanding of materials and composition, Jamie continually pushes the boundaries of what is possible, exploring new techniques to bring greater realism, emotion, and presence to his work.
    Working across a wide range of materials and techniques, Jamie is known for his meticulous craftsmanship and storytelling through form. From hand-cutting and painting individual paper feathers to modelling in traditional clay and carving natural materials, each sculpture is built layer by layer with emotional depth and precision.
    Having lived in both the Cotswolds and Spain, Jamie draws inspiration from diverse landscapes and wildlife. His work goes beyond likeness, using careful detail and narrative to create a genuine connection between the viewer and the subject.
    Conservation is central to Jamie’s practice. He actively supports wildlife charities and conservation projects, and his sculptures aim not only to celebrate wildlife but also to highlight its vulnerability and the importance of protecting it for future generations.
    This is wildlife art where the wild lives on…

  • Anna Campbell

    Anna Campbell

    Anna Campbell is an Irish sculptor, born in Newry, County Down in the North of Ireland. She studied sculpture at the Crawford College of Art in Cork and in the early nineties she moved to England, where she worked for four years at Pangolin Editions, Gloucester. It was here that she gained valuable experience as a sculptor and further developed her technique of working with bronze. Through her work at Pangolin Editions, she was exposed to the work of other sculptors and also had the opportunity to work on bronze pieces by notable sculptors, such as Lyn Chadwick. Her own bronze sculptures, whether they feature figures or animals, as her subject matter are characterised by their elegant modelling and highly distinctive and unique patination, a skill that she still employs for Cast Foundry in Dublin, where she continues to work. She has exhibited her bronze sculpture extensively, throughout Ireland and England, taking part in exhibitions such as the Royal Hibernian Academy Annual Exhibition in Dublin, the Royal Ulster Academy Annual Exhibition in Belfast, and various group exhibitions. Anna has also received many awards for her bronze sculpture in Ireland, including the Penn Chemicals, Cork Award, the Iontas Small Works Exhibition Award and the Sculpture in Context Award.”

    I love to create life-size sculptures of British wildlife & birds, using reclaimed tools, capturing their movement in metal.

    Once I select the most appropriate piece from my ever growing collection of these wonderful old tools, I shape and weld them together to produce an anatomically accurate form, creating movement, whilst ensuring that each tool remains recognisable and intact.

    ​I always try to showcase the tool’s origins – highlighting any cast maker’s marks or place of manufacture, as well as using their bolts, nuts and handles, incorporating as much of the original tool as possible.

     Each completed sculpture is moved outside to allow the elements to encourage a rust patina that is then sealed and finished with a natural and pigmented wax, highlighting the tools original features, whilst preserving its character.

  • Emily Gibbard

    Emily Gibbard

    Emily’s ceramic practice transforms vessels thrown on the potter’s wheel into biomorphic sculptural forms that explore body perception, identity and sexuality.


    While rooted in the traditions of the pottery craft, Emily plays and
    experiments with thrown forms to create abstract body representation. Her inspiration comes from work in female empowerment, studies into prehistoric sculpture and her personal journey of body discovery. Emily is interested in stretching the possibilities of clay as a material and the
    freedom and energy in altering and building with the traditionally
    symmetrical forms of her craft. Working intuitively is an important part of her practice.


    Emily has exhibited both nationally and internationally, most notably at Collect Art Fair, Ceramic Art London and C14 Paris, salon de la céramique.


    Emily is a recipient of Arts Council DYCP funding and is Founder and Director of Windmill Clay artist-led ceramics studio in South Bristol.

  • Vanessa Lawrence

    Vanessa Lawrence

    Based in the South West Coast of Scotland, Vanessa’s practice has gone from predominantly painting for many years, having been her chosen field during her studies at the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture, to focusing on a love for construction and the 3-dimensional form. The physical process of building up a form and holding it within the hands as it comes to life is what really draws Vanessa to sculpture. Wire and pliers are the tools for creating these sculptures based on the human form as well as wildlife, with the introduction of Scottish Pebbles to her work, inspired by gabions, in more recent years.


    The dialogue that can be created when working with the figure is exciting and the ability to tell a story through sculpture and how it’s environment can influence that story are all important components to Vanessa’s approach. These sculptures have been commissioned both privately as well as for large scale public art projects.


    Although sculptures are the starting point, two-dimensional work is still very much a part of Vanessa’s process. Once completed, playing with light and shadow, these sculptures go on to influence drawings and paintings on to a variety of surfaces. A continuous curiosity for experimenting, the play element is integral to the way she
    works, with the process being just as exciting as the final piece. One work can evolve into a whole series of works, which as the maker, keeps the whole practice exciting and open ended.

  • Patrick Bull

    Patrick Bull

    Patrick Bull graduated from the University of Gloucestershire in 2010. He began working as a chaser, finishing bronzes at Talos Art Foundry in Hampshire, England. With nearly 10 years experience finishing sculptures Patrick has developed a good eye for detail and honed his skills in bronze patina.  Over the past couple of years he has turned his skills to creating his own bronze wildlife sculpture.

    Patrick works primarily in bronze using the lost wax method to create high quality sculpture. Each piece is worked by hand to keep that personal feel. Every bronze is finished with a unique patina and sealed with a coat of wax to give them protection and a beautiful deep shine.

    A big influence on Patrick’s work is nature and the great outdoors. He has always enjoyed watching wildlife, particularly birds, they all have such unique personalities. Pat aims to capture those personalities and fleeting moments in his work, evoking a sense of movement and life in his sculpture.

  • Kay Thomas

    Kay Thomas

    As a sociable introvert, Kay is a lifetime observer and mostly ardent supporter of the human being, their motivations, moods and passions. Her earliest foray into art gave way to a long and successful career circling the corporate world. With the death of her husband, a decade ago, she ventured back to study realist figurative sculpture. She now plays with simple forms, strange partnerings, hidden fears, contradictions, secret desires and unfinished stories. Her works aim to capture the moments that reflect the power and frailty of the human condition. Kay is a keen collaborator, most recently with a noted Bristol street artist – eager to share the joy of figurative sculpture with a wider audience. Alongside her own projects, Kay loves to create unique pieces for special places in homes and gardens. Her work is available in cold cast and foundry metals.  

    With her studio perched in the wilds of Dartmoor, Devon, Kay welcomes visitors by appointment, with overnight and longer stays available at the old farmhouse in her tiny and ancient hill-farming village.
