SEFTON WHORLOW

Sefton’s first experience with metal
working and welding was as an apprentice
in a fabrication plant. Subsequent jobs
found him working on car repairs and
the renovation of a passenger cruiser,
but always prevalent was his artistic flair,
a gift for seeing the hidden potential
in scrap-metal objects and for assembling
them into objet d’art.

His extraordinary skill at sculpting iron
was quickly recognised and his break
from mechanic to full-time artist came
when he was asked to create an exhibit
for the visit of the Prince of Wales to the
Bristol group of the Princes Trust.

His work is now much sought after,
with a host of commissions under his
belt from the National Trust to Wadworth’s
Brewery and from businesses, schools and
private individualsup and down the land.

Using conventional ironworking
techniques and raw materials
gleaned from scrap yards, car boot fairs
and farm sales, he has transformed old spanners, suspension springs, exhaust
pipes, combine-harvester spikes,
shovels and spades into the practical,
the bizarre and the ornate: tables,
chairs, candlesticks, gates, gnarled
and twisting trees, giant insects, life-size sheep, 6 foot dolphins, pecking hens and
a larger-than-life horse- pulled chariot
with Boudica at the reins.

Sefton has chosen to exhibit four
members of his growing menagerie:
Heron (5ft), Crowing Cock (5ft),
Swan (5ft) and Pig (3ft),
all limited editions.
