The pieces of sculpture Alan Yates produces are generally related to aspects of the human figure and to the range of life situations which affect the individual; he also explores moods and feelings resulting from the interaction of figure groups with their immediate surroundings.

The domestic or corporate interior tends to suit the scale of the limited edition bronze pieces where they create visual impact and are thought provoking for the people who live or work around them.

Andrew Lacey is a sculptor/founder and independent scholar who specializes in bronze casting and the reconstruction analysis of sculpture.

Born in 1967 in Suffolk, March 2006 Bruce began work on his latest collection of figurative bronzes. One of the pieces, a self portrait labelled “Fitting In” demonstrates his struggle to find his place in society, and the energy he has accumulated over his lifetime that is just waiting to burst out and be seen.

Deborah van der Beek's sculpture depicting horses, riders, ancient warrior queens, bulls and other mythic or legendary subjects stands out for its compelling mixture of potent thematic content and brisk, expressive handling of form.

Geoffrey Dashwood is a sculptor, primarily of birds
in bronze. All superfluous details are eliminated to attain refined forms with smooth tactile surfaces, enhanced by the application of coloured and multi-coloured patinas.

Having gained a reputation for Classical sculpture, he wanted to promote the more creative aspects of his work, and set about exhibiting his abstract sculptures in galleries, sculpture parks, Manchester Art House, Sausmarez Manor in Guernsey, and a major London show with Andrew Logan.

Hamish Mackie was born in 1973 and grew up on a livestock farm in Cornwall. He has been sculpting as a career since 1996 and has works in public and private collections around the world. Public commissions include Merrill Lynch, Hiscox Insurance, Barclays Bank, The National Trust, RSPCA, Woburn Abbey, Chapman University California and Gilbane Development Company Rhode Island.

Hamish has been sculpting since school, he is lucky to have found a natural talent, as well as a passion, which was developed at Radley College, Falmouth school of Art and Kingston University. His sculptures are cast in bronze or silver as limited editions, each signed, dated and numbered.

During 2009 Hamish will be exhibiting at Chelsea Flower Show as well as the CLA Game Fair. There are also plans to film a documentary on the making of a sculpture which will involve a field research trip in Kenya sculpting elephants in their natural habitat.

Hamish sculpts from life where possible; this helps him capture the essence of his subject. “Nothing beats following a heard of elephant in the bush, watching grouse on the moor, or deer in a wood.” He is an outdoors person hence the inspiration.

The original is sculpted in clay or wax over armature made of steel and aluminum. From the original, a mould is made for the lost wax casting technique using a ceramic shell to pour the bronze into. Hamish has always been intrigued that it is possible to cast a fingerprint into bronze. He likes to leave a history in the sculpture surface as to how the anatomy was built up, for example the forceful push of his palm running down a leopard's leg generates power into the sculpture and leaves a history as to how it was made.

Jonathan grew up in London where he was born in 1954. He inherited many of his artistic leanings from his father, a graphic illustrator specializing in sporting art.

Judy Boyt is a sculptor and designer with a passion for the natural world, principally animals. Her strong observational drawings are initially translated into sculpture using metal armatures as 3D 'drawn line'.

Childhood influence from pebbles and bones with their subtle shapes and curves is at once apparent in the artist's stonecarving.

Gifted from an early age, Lorne Mckean was destined to become a sculptor. By the age of 6 she was already carving anything in sight, salt blocks, butter and cheese.

Lorne began studying seriously at the age of 10 when her work attracted the attention of Prince Serge Yourievitch a contemporary and friend of Rodin and under his guidance and encouragement she began modelling at his studio.

She was a student at the Royal Academy Schools and won the Leverhume Scholarship, the Silver medal for sculpture combined with architecture, and the Feodora Gleichen Scholarship. Two sculptures were accepted by the Royal Academy when she was only 20. She was elected a Member of the Society of Portrait Sculptors in 1969 and a Fellow of the Royal Society of British Sculptors in 1972.

"Her exhibitions have been an outstanding success with the public and critics alike and her work has gone to collections all over the world"

Whenever possible Lorne likes to work from life as she finds direct contact with her subject inspires, enlivens and enlightens her work. The search for the essence of a subject has always attracted and fascinated her.

Lorne McKean is married to sculptor Edwin Russell who she met while studying at the Royal Academy Schools

Kinsella's work ranges from delicate table-top bronzes to life size and monumental sculpture.

Predominantly a stone carver, two of his sculptures are in permanent public locations in Milton Keynes .

In 1992, Following a career in engineering and design, Steve began to teach himself to sculpt but completing just two works before giving up. However, four years later, he decided to try again, holding his first exhibition in May 1996. It was here that he met fellow wildlife artist Alan Hunt, who gave him his first commission and remains a close companion and inspiration. Later that year, a meeting with international wildlife photographer Dave Lawson led him to visit Marwell Zoo and Steve realised he wanted to use his art to help conservation. He subsequently agreed to go on safari with Project Africa, donating a percentage of all sales to the charity.

Since 1996, Steve has been inundated with requests for commissions, exhibitions and demonstrations of his sculpting technique. He has also achieved considerable success at major auctions including Christie’s and Sotheby’s. Major achievements include the exhibition of his life size tiger as the centerpiece of the NATO conference at the ICC in Birmingham, and commissions for the Duke of Edinburgh Awards. Steve’s work is collected internationally by both private and corporate collectors.

Over past few years, Steve has begun to cast his own work. It was traditional for Masters, such as Rodin, to get involved in casting their own work. The magic of casting captured Steve’s imagination and inspiration and he started on the long process of building his own art foundry, teaching himself the various processes involved. Each sculpture is handcrafted and finished by the artist.

Having studied at Chelsea School of Art, she established herself through the late 80s and 90s as one of the country’s leading equestrian and landscape artists, winning many awards and exhibiting work at the Royal Academy Summer Show, Sculpture at Goodwood, the Royal Institutes of Oil, Watercolour and Pastel Painters respectively, and solo shows at the Natural History Museum, London and the Tryon & Swann Gallery, Cork Street.
