ABOUT FRESH AIR SCULPTURE

Set up by art collectors, Lucy and David Abel Smith, the first Fresh Air Sculpture was held in the Quenington Old Rectory gardens in 1992. Acclaim for the show’s originality and innovative mixture of traditional, modern and cutting-edge outdoor sculpture has grown year by year and Fresh Air Sculpture is now an established and much anticipated fixture in the art events calendar. Fresh Air Sculpture became a charitable trust, under Quenington Sculpture Trust, in 1997.

What a wonderful idea for helping art education in What a wonderful idea for helping art education in schools. Something that we are passionate about. Please support if you can. Posted @withregram • @ft_howtospendit Grayson Perry, Philip Pullman, Dawn French, Juliet Stevenson and Jenny Saville are some of the esteemed creatives who donned a face mask to be photographed in aid of the Oxfordshire-based children’s art therapy charity, At The Bus @at_the_bus. Each sitter was captured in their own space by photographer Joanna Vestey. As well as protection against Covid-19, the mask is intended as a symbol of the limits of creative dialogue and production over the last year. The resulting limited edition prints will be sold for £150 each, with all proceeds aiding the charity’s school-based programme of art therapy for children and young people. For more ideas on how to give it this month - follow the link in bio.⁠ 📸 @alanmeasles by @joannavestey

A beautiful place to get cosy in the winter and to enjoy in the summer with the enormous doors open wide onto the gardens. #wintergarden #gardentherapy #quenington #cotswoldgarden #englishgarden #freshairsculpture #garden #gardendesign #rusticgamestrong #freshairsculpture2021 #rivercoln #wintervibes #cotswolds #cotswoldlife #countrygarden #gardening #gloucestershire #gardenlife #englishcountrygarden #englishcountryhouse #cotswoldhome #cotswoldhouse #talesfromthegarden #theconstantlycurious #gardenersofinstagram #carolpeace #sculpturegarden #sculpturelovers
When you find something beautiful whilst scrolling When you find something beautiful whilst scrolling of a morning ! @ralphshuttleworth 👏 Posted @withregram • @ralphshuttleworth I really enjoyed making this sculpture, the walnut bent into these fluid curves very well. I was aiming for a gestural swirling design that maintained its structure and presence. I'd love to know what you think. This was initially made as a maquette, for a large 3m outdoor version, which I'd still love to make. #woodworking #sculptural #craft #moderndesign #sculpture #woodart #art #contemporarycraft #newmakers #wood #bentwood #walnut #modernsculpture #design #interiordesign #decor #artgallery #artexhibition #yorkshireartists #contemporarysculpture #artistsoninstagram #style #turning #natural #gestural #outdoorsculpture #maquette #ralphshuttleworth

In the autumn gales of 2017, a large branch came c In the autumn gales of 2017, a large branch came crashing down onto the Richard la Trobe Bateman designed bridge in our gardens. The swing-lift opening footbridge is made from painted Douglas Fir and galvanised steel and spans 10.5 metres across the River Coln. It can be raised and lowered easily by hand using a unique arrangement of cables and pulleys. Early in 2019, the bridge had to be pulled from the river and Richard (now in his 80s) returned to restore the bridge with his son. It is such a beautiful engineering creation and we were thrilled that it won the Wood Awards for Innovation in 2003. Here it is in the winter light. #wintergarden #gardentherapy #quenington #cotswoldgarden #englishgarden #freshairsculpture #garden #gardendesign #rusticgamestrong #freshairsculpture2021 #rivercoln #wintervibes #cotswolds #cotswoldlife #countrygarden #gardening #gloucestershire #gardenlife #englishcountrygarden #englishcountryhouse #cotswoldhome #cotswoldhouse #talesfromthegarden #theconstantlycurious #gardenersofinstagram #carolpeace #sculpturegarden #sculpturelovers
