A whole other piece has been designed and fabricated in that time. I won’t bore you with the fabrication process, basically lots of chainsaw action and carving went on, pretty much the same as for the benches but on a larger scale. The works were all installed at the beginning of June and the celebration launch was held yesterday involving all the schools and individuals who took part in the workshops which were run last year leading up to the design process.<br />

The totem is the final piece for the woodland project. Carved from a locally sourced, 200 year old oak tree which sadly had to be cut down due to Highways regulations. It was a pleasure to carve.<br />
If you view this blog it would be nice to receive feedback as we are never sure who, if anyone, views the works posted here. Any comments would be gratefully received.<br />
The Community Woodland sculptures has been a year long project. We’ve greatly enjoyed the opportunity to reintroduce wood carving to the portfolio and hope to have the chance to continue working in this versatile material, as well as all the other materials we have worked in in the past.<br />

I’ve had the kiln since about 2008 but for a variety of reasons it has sat in the corner of 2 studios acting as a very expensive cupboard. Today it is finally being used for what it was built for. The children’s work produced during the workshops connected with the Selby Community Woodland project will be fired this week. Fingers crossed the pieces fire okay and there are no casualties. Once fired they will be returned to the schools.</p> Ailsa Magnus MRBShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09202550785648371405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251955025675764598.post-78012859182243205082012-09-03T13:09:00.001-07:002012-09-03T13:09:01.143-07:00Stracathro Sited.<p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-3pGjhMxROaE/UEUOVTlEAcI/AAAAAAAACoc/S1-IYQSwXYg/s1600-h/2012-08-30%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="2012-08-30" border="0" alt="2012-08-30" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-i4qvHhA3tGM/UEUOWce9xCI/AAAAAAAACok/aXFNDoh4Fgs/2012-08-30_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="389" height="548"></a></p> <p>Seen Through Hand and Heart<br>Susan Carnegie Centre, Stracathro Hospital nr Brechin, Angus<br>Commissioned by Tayside NHS</p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251955025675764598.post-57351286143196716612012-08-21T03:45:00.001-07:002012-08-21T03:48:39.677-07:00Stracathro….. almost done<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-YB0JihEqq-Q/UDNmptMSX6I/AAAAAAAABzY/4NsJqTr4Rgg/s1600-h/1-Stracathro%252520nearly%252520finished%252520resized%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="1-Stracathro nearly finished resized" border="0" height="280" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-mLZ_4uZpKCg/UDNmtjtk5KI/AAAAAAAABzg/0db69ajKgmQ/1-Stracathro%252520nearly%252520finished%252520resized_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="1-Stracathro nearly finished resized" width="394" /></a><br />

Today I stayed home to do the books meanwhile Hamish has been continuing to work on ‘Seen Through Hand and Heart’. I’ve just found these photos posted to our Facebook page and was really pleased to see the piece now standing up. It was a nice surprise to see today’s progress. There’s a lot more grinding for me to do yet but progress is steady.Ailsa Magnus MRBShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09202550785648371405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251955025675764598.post-21853623023054081762012-07-23T05:06:00.001-07:002012-07-23T05:06:36.256-07:00Stracathro…. grinding<p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-GmSmqJWv6_o/UA0-RBg0p4I/AAAAAAAABuM/B4N_qSdOmXI/s1600-h/Stracathro%252520grinding%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Stracathro grinding" border="0" alt="Stracathro grinding" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-raZETXtbzMc/UA0-SuCpnOI/AAAAAAAABuU/zh1m8CwVq-k/Stracathro%252520grinding_thumb%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="406" height="289"></a></p> <p>There’s a lot of grinding to do… best go and get on with it!</p> Ailsa Magnus MRBShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09202550785648371405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251955025675764598.post-39378295176669923312012-07-18T07:54:00.001-07:002012-07-18T07:54:47.169-07:00Stracathro… drilling and welding<p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-fISCxt-qc2M/UAbOMFVPX3I/AAAAAAAABt4/Rkuuq9bYzNU/s1600-h/Stracathro%252520drilling%252520and%252520welding%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Stracathro drilling and welding" border="0" alt="Stracathro drilling and welding" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-2EeVIwDGhf4/UAbONFLt6II/AAAAAAAABuA/oZds_tK0_Wc/Stracathro%252520drilling%252520and%252520welding_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="400" height="284"></a></p> <p>Now all the cutting is completed it is time to start putting the pieces together.</p> Ailsa Magnus MRBShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09202550785648371405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251955025675764598.post-2955712432678166322012-07-11T02:41:00.001-07:002012-07-11T02:41:37.408-07:00Selby Post July 5th 2012<p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-GGBMwaODRro/T_1KSkcJm9I/AAAAAAAABtk/5L_g7DPVPZo/s1600-h/Selby%252520Post%252520article018%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Selby Post article018" border="0" alt="Selby Post article018" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-kmSu4Gog-Jk/T_1KTwHshTI/AAAAAAAABts/bARAD-ndg8A/Selby%252520Post%252520article018_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="395" height="350"></a></p> <p>Article published in The Selby Post last week.</p> Ailsa Magnus MRBShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09202550785648371405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251955025675764598.post-61775943526642760252012-07-09T03:50:00.001-07:002012-07-09T03:50:51.935-07:00Stracathro…. site marking 3rd July 2012<p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-lrhrYl4cEos/T_q3ZRrmC8I/AAAAAAAABsg/TZ_LBJbnJg4/s1600-h/Stracathro%252520drawing%2525201%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Stracathro drawing 1" border="0" alt="Stracathro drawing 1" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-hyHa5xzk1mo/T_q3aoUnLDI/AAAAAAAABso/qhIBFtFp94A/Stracathro%252520drawing%2525201_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="401" height="300"></a></p> <p>Above drawing shows plan views of the sculpture.

The piece will sit within a 6m gravel circle which cuts through the existing path.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-S3DOe0vdSiI/T-rITjU04eI/AAAAAAAABqI/5i9bRI4ZDfw/s1600-h/DSC02490%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="DSC02490" border="0" alt="DSC02490" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-xsjEJRqcGcw/T-rIUIvW5RI/AAAAAAAABqQ/LNkmvIIcQt8/DSC02490_thumb%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="395" height="297"></a></p> <p>We’ve started cutting out the steel. </p> <p> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-JXLx4ajlqf8/T-rIU4npABI/AAAAAAAABqY/OUMEE3cm-M8/s1600-h/DSC02458%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="DSC02458" border="0" alt="DSC02458" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-8VhYicKDWtA/T-rIV2qSn7I/AAAAAAAABqg/vl_D7cbIQ_E/DSC02458_thumb%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="395" height="524"></a></p> <p>The oak horizontal element is under construction.</p> <p></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-kQa7FuZ2pEw/T-rIW4pn1wI/AAAAAAAABqo/c3cS68yNNLI/s1600-h/wood%252520part%252520for%252520Stracathro%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="wood part for Stracathro" border="0" alt="wood part for Stracathro" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-S4Carj0Ddv4/T-rIXbEpQoI/AAAAAAAABqw/HlzqY6BvqK0/wood%252520part%252520for%252520Stracathro_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="401" height="285"></a></p> Ailsa Magnus MRBShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09202550785648371405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251955025675764598.post-89865407236421986522012-06-26T07:14:00.001-07:002012-06-26T07:17:18.678-07:00Bondgate Community Woodland, Workshops at Selby Primary Schools<p>Following on from the workshop held at Selby High School, workshops have now been held at Selby Abbey Primary School, Selby Community Primary School and Longman’s Hill Primary School. Involving children from years 3, 4 and 5 Ailsa worked with the pupils to design features for the Community Woodland. The children made pastel compositions based on natural forms. They then looked at the outline of the composed pastel drawing and drew the silhouette describing the form of their proposed sculpture.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-03eYVHIKOC0/T-nD02JnUQI/AAAAAAAABpk/c5YrMrgcw-Q/s1600-h/Bondgate%252520for%252520Blog%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Bondgate for Blog" border="0" alt="Bondgate for Blog" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-FudOYL8SV5A/T-nD1gP06RI/AAAAAAAABps/Iql8Q0ZnS-0/Bondgate%252520for%252520Blog_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="287"></a></p> <p>In the afternoon the children modelled their sculptures in raku clay. Some lovely little pieces resulted from the children’s hard work. Ailsa is going to use these to inform the design of a number of wood carvings which will become permanent features in the community wood. In all 70 children took part in the primary school workshops.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-49wjmftSPzk/T-nD24R2oMI/AAAAAAAABp0/0ebDDyrbFxE/s1600-h/Bondgate%252520for%252520Blog1%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Bondgate for Blog1" border="0" alt="Bondgate for Blog1" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-F2PnL0eXzdw/T-nD3joJOfI/AAAAAAAABp8/E9jul6MAXfw/Bondgate%252520for%252520Blog1_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="403" height="287"></a></p> Ailsa Magnus MRBShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09202550785648371405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251955025675764598.post-91925648785691826432012-06-12T00:35:00.000-07:002012-06-12T00:52:52.158-07:00Stracathro Project…..
