Photos featured on Yorkshire Sculpture Park’s web site
I’ve just had the nod from my friends at Yorkshire Sculpture Park to let me know some marketing photographs I took for them are now live on their new web site. The photographs are put to good use advertising their creative art and sculpture workshop events.

Well on the 15th September, a group of aspiring sculptors did just that as they took part in a course teaching the art of traditional dry stone walling at Yorkshire Sculpture Park. The workshop was conducted under the careful guidance...

Given the changeable late summer weather, it was touch and go as to whether we’d have any takers for the Art as Environment family workshop at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, running as a ‘drop in’ event for passing children and adults. Luckily, a school trip of young children were keen to get involved with all the cardboard and sticky tape up for grabs.
