Talk - Toads, Moths, Puffins and now, Rats!
Heritage Open Day: A talk by Rick Welton – Toads, Moths, Puffins & Rats - the Animal Sculptures Trails of Hull and East Yorkshire
It was Rick who delivered our memorable city wide installations of Toads, Moths, and Puffins In this illustrated talk, Rick Welton will explore the process of devising and delivering Hull and East Yorkshire’s four artist-decorated animal sculpture trails. He will examine their impact as popular cultural phenomena and charity fund-raisers. From the very first trail, Larkin with Toads (2010), through A Moth for Amy (2016) and Puffins Galore (2022) and most recently, A Mischief of Rats, these giant, colourful sculptures have become firmly embedded in the cultural life our region.
