Withy Sculptures by Paula Briggs and Sheila Ceccarelli from AccessArt.

Traditionally used for basket weaving and garden sculpture, withies, or willow sticks, are a versatile construction material, ideal for building sculpture.

They are a perfect material for exploring sculptural form and ‘drawing in space’. They are light and pliable and the perfect medium for building large scale hanging sculptures and ideal for working with themes surrounding birds, mythical creatures and flying machines.

Talking Points: What is a Zine?

Jonathan Ford, sculptor, shares his sculptors sketchbooks.

“All drawings were part of the evolution of Meth V, a creature who now lives at the Jerwood Sculpture Park. Processes involved the collection of boxes & boxes of images from magazines, books and pamphlets. The images were then cut with scissors and drawn onto or transformed into part of Meth V. No scanning or computer involvement was used for these images.”
