Entry description
Bird on the Run (Sculptural Pheasant)
‘I was encouraged by a visit last year to see pewter at the V&A to push the boundaries of fabulous, versatile pewter to create unique fine art sculptural forms. The pheasant was challenging to put together to suggest movement, proportion and layered feathers. This is a decorative piece with many possible settings and it stands on a small oak base.’
L’eau de la Vie (Set of 6 Coasters)
‘These coasters are designed to enhance any private or corporate entertainment setting or serve as a gift. They include cut-outs, texturing and high shine areas and can be simplified to meet manufacturing requirements.’
