Bath Stone carving of Olympian Mark Foster starts this weekend

This weekend sculptor Ben Dearnley will start work on the larger then life size carving of Olympic swimmer Mark Foster's torso. The 2.69 tonne block of Bath stone, generously donated by the Bath Stone Group was unveiled by Mark last October. 

Ben is opening the doors to the public over Easter weekend, to watch him begin the carving process, and there will be regular opportunities over the coming months to see the figure emerge from the stone. The workshop is at the Old Petrol Station, Crescent Lane, opposite the Marlborough Tavern, and will be open from 2-4pm each day from Saturday 23rd April to Mon 25th April .


Art at the Edge will also be displaying a selection of their commissioned bronze sculptures at the workshop, and renowned local artist Deborah van der Beek will be talking about her Modern Pentathlon sculpture and showing her inspirational sketchbooks on Saturday from 2.30-3.30pm. Art At The Edge Lottery Tickets will be on sale giving you the chance to win one of the bronze sculptures in the collection worth up to £5000!
