Crafted By Hand Exhibitors July 2nd 2017

Sculpture Showcase Stands

This year for both of our events we are featuring a few stands who show the greatest of skills in their chosen art. On the 2nd of July we have sculpture as a theme and are delighted to show three amazing sculptors, Jennifer Tetlow, Adrian Wood and Michael Kusz.

Jennifer Tetlow stone sculpture

Jennifer Tetlow is a stone sculptor based in Lastingham, on the edge of the North York Moors. She began carving after a chance encounter with masons dressing wall-stones, and was taken with the sound and rythm of hammer on chisel, and the neat-handed skills of the men at work.
You can see two of Jennifer's swift sculptures on the Masham Swift Sculpture Trail.

Michael Kusz - Graculus

Michael transforms old machinery, found metals and new into amazing creatures inspired by real animals and those in mysthical realms.

You can see how he works at Crafted By Hand and go on a sculpture trail to spot some of his works in the wild!

Adrian Wood - Artist Blacksmith

Adrian Wood is a university graduate with a degree in fine art sculpture from The University of London. A chance visit to a forge gave Adrian Wood his first taste of blacksmithing. He recalls; "From the first moment I hit the hot steel I knew what I wanted to do."
You can see some of Adrian's forged swifts on the swift sculpture trail around Masham.
