In the Workshop today – Little Bird
Around the workshop a restless Wren is busy darting about, and when the door is open comes in to check for lacewings and spiders to feed on. Although they’re highly territorial birds, during winter months, and especially when it is bitterly cold, they roost together, several dozen huddled together for warmth. It’s lovely to […]
Harrogate Spring Flower Show 2020
In April this year I’m exhibiting at the Harrogate Spring Flower Show – the show will provide an inspiring platform to showcase some of my larger sculpture, and new pieces for the garden. I’m also taking a little range of pots and planters and unique artistic one-off pieces. Harrogate Flower Show is a […]
‘Grits’ Vase
This stone is known as ‘Grits’ – a short-form for Millstone Grit. Millstone Grit is the name given to any of a number of course-grained sandstones of Carboniferous age which occur in the British Isles. The name comes from its use in earlier times as a source of millstones for use principally in watermills. […]
On this new morning
Happy New Year On this new morning, at the very beginning of this New Year, and new decade, I wish you Happy.
Brume Bird
Through the haar and murky short December days, this bird came. The bird sculpture, with its long tail high in the air is carved in Swaledale Fossil Marble (the same stone as Fossily Bird). Quite a fascination working this dense stone, seeing all the structures within – the pre-historic remains embedded in the rock […]

Festival of Winter
Though it doesn’t seem very winter-like, weatherwise anyway, I’m feeling now quite in the mood to celebrate the Winter Festival season. After the shortest day, there’s a feeling that we’re pulling away from the darker months, but of course it takes some time before we can notice a difference. For me, it is certainly […]
Marble Vases in Festive mood
There’s a very soft scent of pine resin lingering on my hands from selecting a few festive fronds from the garden – heavenly! For me these natural little touches of seasonal green and berries bring huge cheer and a warm Christmassy feel. Shown here in timelessly elegant and luxurious marble vases. View The British […]
In the Workshop today – Birds wait
Birds wait in the winter landscape for me to finish their birdbath, and fill it with water. Here’s one of them on a fence post at the workshop, watching the sun rise as I chisel away inside. They waited patiently for their water until I delivered the birdbath to its new home and we […]
An outing for me and my Camera
Sometimes little strokes of goodness happen. I read a post by Simply By Arrangement saying that she was unable to attend a course day she had booked with Sarah Mason Photography, and would anyone be interested in going in her place. I replied, to say yes, I’d love to. So, very spontaneously, last Saturday […]
