Wild and Wonderful Sculpture at Standen: Alison Catchlove
An exhibition of flora and fauna metal sculptures by Alison Catchlove.
Booking not needed. This event is free, but normal admission charges apply for the venue.
Wednesday 4 June to Thursday 10 July 2025, 10am to 4pm
Alison is in her third year of exhibiting at Standen and brings with her a variety of flora and fauna sculptures, handcrafted in metal. Alison graduated from Loughborough University in 2000 with a degree in Fine Art: Sculpture. Since then, she has been specialising in metalwork and spends most of her time creating sculptures inspired by nature and wildlife, she is particularly known for her intricate and often comical birds.
Working mainly from her studio in Shere in the beautiful Surrey Hills, Alison uses basic tools to cut, hammer and weld sheet steel to create her sculptures. Often cutting large sheets into hundreds of tiny pieces, each one individually shaped before welding them together to form the finished shape. Most of the sculptures are then galvanised and painted bright colours to bring them to life and to add a sense of humour and quirkiness that you don’t get with the natural metal finish.
