Giraffe



Calvin has been commissioned to make a giraffe sculpture. He completed it on Saturday and it's now drying before going in to the kiln. Looks pretty sweet. Well done, Dude!

Red necklace






As well as the blue jewellery, Calvin made a red set of necklaces and bracelets.

Blue Necklace and Bracelet





Calvin's made some jewellery where he's carried on his gorilla series by incorporating some "gorilla teeth" into these cool wee necklaces and bracelets. Let me know if you like any or even want to buy one. Prices are very reasonable!

Chav Gorilla






Calvin has finished and glazed his Chav Gorilla. He's got his bright blue baseball cap, fat gold rope, can of lager and his bull terrier straining to rip your insides out.

Tolling of the Bell





Calvin's made a clay garden ornament/wind chime. Looks completely different to anything that Calvin's made before. It's about 12 inches high. It's also makes a nice chime.

Working on a commission

Calvin has been working on a commission recently which is quite exciting for him. A lady seen the website and got in contact with him to ask if he could make a sculpture for her.

It'll be finished in a few weeks — it's drying right now —and then I'll put some pictures online of it.

Collector in New York buys a gorilla

Gorilla and the doughnut.


Great news! An art collector from New York has spotted one of Calvin's sculptures on the internet and has bought it from The Gallery on the Corner.

Well done to Paul and Robin at the gallery for helping with the sale and especially well done to Calvin for being so creative. Well done son.

Troop of Gorillas






Calvin has a troop of gorillas in the house at the moment that are at different stages. Some are still needing their first firing, some have been fired but need glazing and fired and some are finished completed and about to be taken up to the gallery.

Nick Park from Aardman

Well now, I found this old press cutting tonight of when Calvin had an article written about him in the Sunday Post whilst he was still at Primary school. Oscar winner Nick Park from Aardman bigging up Calvin's work is pretty smooth!
