Artisan Studios at RHS Badminton Flower Show

A Sculptor’s Sanctuary is a romantic, elegant sculptors retreat with a soft feminine theme. Showcasing dreamy, limited edition original bronze, rust and stone sculptures, the studio is a perfect nature integrated space for artistic creation, contemplation and creative freedom. Laura Jane will create a new figurative sculpture during the show, sculpting in clay on a wire armature and explaining the wider process of moulding and casting using examples to demonstrate. A deep, muted colour pallet throughout creates an intimate atmosphere with natural accents to enhance the timeless, romantic feel, and an open terrace surrounded by an abundance of dainty flowers and elegant sculptures welcomes visitors to immerse themselves in the display.

This immersive exhibit recreates the atmosphere of a traditional pottery studio, showcasing a collection of hand-thrown terracotta pieces ranging from classic garden pots to decorative basketware and rustic tableware. Each piece is crafted using time-honoured techniques that celebrate the beauty, functionality, and authenticity of handmade pottery. Visitors are invited to experience the full creative journey of pottery making, from raw clay through wedging, wheel-throwing, and hand-decoration. At the heart of the exhibit is the theme of process and craftsmanship, brought to life through key features including a working potter’s wheel, a wedging and decorating bench, and a kiln display illustrating each stage of production.

A celebration of a traditional craft, Sarah’s design brings the joy of stained glass to a wider audience and communicates its relevance in the modern world. The exhibit will show how stained glass can be part of a contemporary home or garden. This wonderland of colour will draw people into the Studio and lead them to find out more about how stained glass is made.
