Eco-friendly and British, wooden garden sculpture.
Almost any subject is possible, individually designed and handmade Eco-friendly garden sculpture.
Contemporary realism in garden sculpture.
Realism in garden sculpture does (mostly) appeal to most people most of the time. Contemporary garden sculpture made to you design, or we can design it together.
So what do they cost? Well, everyone is different and unique and so there isn't just one price. Most people spend somewhere between £350 and £1500 - but a life size and life like human starts at £7,000.
A statement piece of Garden sculpture.
Large scale statement piece garden sculptures. Really let your imagination go wild. British high impact garden sculpture and design.
Contemporary individual garden sculpture.
Or, if you want to be right up to date, modern and contemporary, let's design together, a bespoke individual sculpture of a kind no one else has.
Contemporary wooden figurative sculpture.
This life size figurative sculpture was made from a single photograph. You may like to consider an Eco-friendly wooden figurative sculpture from your own family or simply your imagination.
Design your own garden sculpture.
This life size sculpture of a Kiwi Bird standing on a fern leaf, was entirely the idea of my client. The design was achieved through a consultative video design process where I advised on the practicalities, but essentially the whole concept and pose etc belongs to my client.

So, what wooden garden sculpture are you looking for?
Contemporary British Garden Sculpture.
An all weather coating making them suitable for permanent outside installation.
Gardens all over the world have been ornamented by art & sculpture, probably for as long as there have been gardens. I guess, when we first think of garden sculpture, we either bring to mind the classical figures of ancient Greece or the ubiquitous garden gnome. The gnome has a place, and if you would like a wooden one, I'll make it for you, but I like to make individual one off pieces that have meaning and fit their locations and surrounding environment, but it goes much deeper than that. If you're looking for a sculpture to draw on the emotions, in my experience, a human figure can do that best. Wooden figures, have an air of real life about them, bronze figures may be perfect from all aspects, but they are almost always completely inert.
.......we're looking for a new and better world, aren't we?
You may be a garden owner or garden designer, either way you'll have a passion for design and commissioning a sculpture for the garden, isn't easy, there's a lot riding on it. Perhaps, you would like a sculpture to be really NOW. As an artificer, I positively encourage your design ideas. I can make your design or we can design it together.
Points to consider:
- The whole garden, what is its aim?
- Do you have a theme in mind i.e. abstract, animal, insect, human figure life like or fictitious?
- Have you decided where the sculpture is to be installed - can I have a few photos?
- Do you want your piece to be about drama, soothing, nature, love, erotic, exotic, shocking?
- Do you want it to passively convey a message i.e. emotions, pain, love, loss, gain wealth, success?
- Is it to be high brow, folklore, classical, modernist or a memorial?
- How large or small, almost anything is possible and small can be as effective as large.
So what's different, what's NOW about my work?
It's largely about climate change responsibility, my sculpture is made from British grown 100% legal and sustainable wood. It's not just any wood, it consists of carefully chosen species, careful use of specialist techniques, heavily built and robust. For pieces that will be installed in the open and unprotected from all weathers, I coat the whole piece in a marine grade coating for extended longevity. The end result is a natural appearance and an air of real life, something only obtainable by using wood.
Why do I not make Bronze sculpture?
The short answer is that Bronze was right for the Victorian period of industrialisation and Gothic splendour, concrete and steel were right for the modernist period of brutal architecture and science fiction, but today, the use of these (and other high carbon materials) are simply all out of date and some may even say irresponsible. It is fair to say the use of bronze, steel, iron or concrete, will last longer than wood and require no maintenance, so it comes down to what your priorities are.
Would you like to make an enquiry?
The system is relaxed and easy. Simply complete the form bellow with a brief description of what you have in mind. I'll talk you through the process. You will NOT have an obligation until you have placed an order. Before the ordering stage, you will have received from me a written fixed quotation, so there will be clarity from the start. When the piece is finished and before it leaves my workshop, you will have the chance to either come and see it or view a video I'll send you, to decide whether it meets your expectations and whether to buy it or not - simple as that.
