Nichola Theakston
Solo Show
November 26th - December 24th

Nichola Theakston has established herself as one of the UK's foremost  contemporary sculptors working with animal genre. She has exhibited widely across the country and is collected enthusiastically by many who appreciate her exceptional natural ability and skill coupled with sensitivity and awareness of her subject.

Limited Edition sculptures are usually made on an armature which is packed out with clay to assume a rough sketch which is worked to completion before moulding. Traditional plaster moulds  are made of the sculpture from which she is able to  remake and remodel a ceramic edition

‘Before starting a sculpture I will draw or make quick maquettes in clay. Drawing allows for a fresh and colourful expression and will often add another dimension to the 3d work. As an artist I am trying to find ways to capture this initial freshness and spontaneity in a finished piece whilst giving equal consideration to understanding form and proportion’ - Nichola Theakston.
