Exhibiting at Yardley Arts Summer Open Sculpture Garden
Posted on Jun 25, 2026The sunshine has brought the wonderful new Sculpture Garden at Yardley Arts to life, where I am delighted to have two sculptures selected for the Yardley Arts Summer Open. Equs is on display in the Sculpture Garden, while Noble Mariner is featured in the main exhibition.
Selected from several hundred entries in this national open call by an esteemed panel of judges—David Mach RA, Turner Prize nominee, Antony Spiro of MK Gallery, and Amanda Lowther and Louise Newton of the British Art Portfolio Society—having my work chosen for this exhibition is truly special.

Yardley Arts, The Old School Hall, The Square, Yardley Hastings, Northampton, NN7 1EU

The free exhibition coincides with the popular Yardley Hastings Open Gardens this Sunday, 28 June, making it a wonderful opportunity to enjoy art, sculpture and beautiful gardens in this picturesque Northamptonshire village, just a few minutes from historic Castle Ashby and its renowned gardens.
Studio Work
In the studio, the current heatwave is making the already demanding process of firing high stoneware temperatures even more intense.
