APRIL A month of splitting and cutting slate, learning the nature of different adhesives, finding off cuts of hard wood and acquiring a pillar drill for more accurate drilling and pinning of the slate I would like to work
with much larger pieces but I have to resolve many technical problems
first, not least of which is handling the weight. |

March Splitting slate and setting pieces in concrete and grout. |
 |
February Made sculpture in MDF, wood and concrete, concrete cracked - I learnt a lot. Stopped working on strung piece as I need to practice welding first. Went to a slate quarry in north Wales and loaded the car up from the reject pile. |

January Stroud
Arts Award
I was short listed for the Stroud Arts Award (£20,000) with my first piece. The 5 short listed sculptures were exhibited at Stroud Subscription Rooms so that public opinion could contribute 1/7 to the decision of the selection committee. I won the public vote but the Award winner was Phil Thompson.
