Bowls & Dishes
I have been experimenting in making some small bowls and dishes. I’m trying to get the stone as thin as I can to give them a lightness not associated with stone objects.

Beechnuts
I did a couple of beechnuts over the summer. I was hoping to exhibit them as a pair at “Richard Scott Sculpture at Ballymaloe” but only got one done in time. I finished the second one in time for the Kilkenny Festival. I have had some of my work photographed by Roland paschhoff, thanks to being […]

Fucus II (Bladderwrack seaweed)
I spent much of the winter grinding away at Fucus II. I took me way longer and became more complicated than I intended. I think I just got carried away. It went to the annual “Richard Scott Sculpture @ Ballymaloe” (21st June to 3rd September 2017) where Richie managed to sell it. It went to the same home […]

A stone for Christmas
I have been making these small pieces out of very dark limestone from the “Butlersgrove formation” which is the classic “Kilkenny Marble” (even though it is not really a marble) as small affordable gifts. They are designed as a soap dish, but I have drilled a hole in the back so they can be hung on […]
