This much exhibited sculptor brings the nuances of human character to life. Angela loves to make sculptures of people, mainly nudes. She works in ceramic bronze resin and bronze. The female form is especially well understood and knowingly fashioned. Her friendly Life Classes and workshops, including clay modelling, are held in the beautifil riverside village of Brockweir in the Wye Valley, near Chepstow. Angela has taught for many years, specialising in Life modelling, For information about all classes pleasesee our new "Workshops" page.

Angela is interested in the way that the body can convey mood, feelings and character simply by the turn of the head or the set of the shoulders. Most of her pieces are modelled in clay directly from life . Angela tries to preserve the essential qualities of the clay in the finished work, keeping the surface lively and the lines fluid. Her work may be sited indoors or out and is a most pleasant focal point. Studio visits welcome - do call first to arrange a date.
