Sculpture in Progress 22/11/2011
Yesterday we spent the day with the guys at Argent Engineering in Hull putting together the first 4 sections of the sculpture for Bilston New Sector Police Station. After some initial discussion the work came together quite quickly.
The first 4 sections are now all tacked ready for welding. There are a further 3 sections to make but now the first sections are together these should be quite straight forward as they are simply the same piece made in the opposite hand.
Appropriate supports will be added on the backs of the pieces. The sculpture will be viewed from the front only so substantial supports can be added to the reverse of the pieces without detracting too much from the design.
The spirals create fantastic shadows.
Wolverton Bench Supports
The sculptural seating supports have now all been cast. There’s just a bit of fettling to do before they return to the studio.
Hopefully we will take delivery of these pieces within the next week so we can begin to fit the oak seat.

Bilston, Work in Progress
In June 2010 we were commissioned by West Midlands Police to create a piece of sculpture for Bilston New Sector Police Station. This project has been on hold for over a year but finally we have been given the go ahead to begin fabrication. All the Corten A pieces are now cut and ready for assembly. Work should now proceed fairly quickly, we hope to complete the piece before Christmas ready for installation early next year.
