Cyril the Cirl Bunting

I began my career as a children's book illustrator, but I also worked as a stonemason for over 20 years, doing restoration, memorials and fireplaces and on pieces for Salisbury and Exeter cathedrals. These days, I mainly carve sculpture - mainly animals and birds, in limestone and marble and alabaster. I also lead the GB Snowcarving team, working on 3m cube blocks of compressed snow, in competitions around the world. When I am not sculpting, I am sailing, or walking with my hooligan dog, Bonnie.
