PLUS - New Sculpture Installed

Following the artisitc theme this month, you can also see the newly-installed sculpture at the Tamar Valley Centre.  Crafted by talented South West artist, Serena de la Hey, the piece occupies a lofty position above the main atrium.  Having worked all over the world on a range of projects, Serena is best known for the Willow Man, a 12 metre sculpture next to the M5 motorway, near Bridgwater in Somerset, UK.  The 'flying sculpture' is also made from willow, with copper sheeting to reflect a part of the Valley's industrial heritage.

Make your own wetland wildlife sculpture with Serena de la Hey, or take home your very own basket made from willow grown in the Tamar Valley with local basketmaker Ian Strugnell.

This weekend course will be held at the Tamar Valley Centre, Drakewalls, near Gunnislake, on 27th & 28th March. More details will be announced soon.
