Wrapping Up the August Sculpting Competition

After months of creativity, clay, and a fair bit of casting dust, the August Sculpting Competition, PROGRESS OVER PERFECTION, has officially come to a close! It’s been an incredible journey — from selecting the winners, developing their concepts, and watching each idea take form through sculpting, molding, and casting — to finally seeing these unique pieces find their new homes.

Own yours today! There will only be a very limited range available for sale on each of these items.

There’s something deeply rewarding about sending each sculpture out into the world, knowing it’s gone to the right place and the right person. To everyone who participated, supported, or simply followed along — thank you for being part of this experience. Your enthusiasm keeps my creativity alive! I am already looking forward to the next one...

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Sponsors

This event wouldn’t have been possible without the invaluable support of our sponsors: AMT Composites and Composites and General South Coast.
Their commitment to craftsmanship and innovation in materials has made a tangible difference to every stage of this project — from the first lump of clay to the final product.

A sincere thank you for believing in local artistry and helping bring these sculptures to life.

A Glimpse Into What’s Next

While the competition chapter closes, the creative energy certainly doesn’t stop here. In the studio right now, I’m working on a brand-new sculpture — already in the molding phase and taking on a powerful presence. It’s a piece that explores form and quiet inner strength - dealing with our struggles, even the self inflicted ones. I can’t wait to share more of this with you.

Stay tuned for sneak peeks and progress updates in next month’s edition!

Own a piece of the First Edition collection — three extraordinary sculptures are currently available, including “Effigia – Faceless Serenity” in bronze and resin, and the one-of-a-kind “Fractured Grace”, a fusion of epoxy and wood. Opportunities like these don’t come often.
