Last week Bethany Clay a student from Greenhead College worked with me to see what life is like as a sculptor. Coming from a drawing and painting background she’d never thought of doing sculpture before. We were based in the workshop all week apart from a trip to the galvanisers and to pick up various materials. She’d never tried sculpture before but quickly learnt to use my mig welder and made some name plates, a rat, an alien and a horse sculpture. She also did some plasma cutting and used it to draw with, making a portrait which she later welded some extra pieces to. She was great to work with, always helpful around the workshop and certainly not afraid to get her hands dirty.
