Delamore Art - Every Day in May - 1030 - 1630

Emily Stone creates her Copper Creatures from her workshop near Dover in Kent. In 2001 she started sculpting full-time, and since then she has exhibited widely in galleries and gardens around Britain. She has shown her work at Fire and Iron Gallery at Leatherhead, Savill Gardens in Windsor Great Park, Pashley Manor on the Kent-Sussex border and Delamore Arts in Devon. Emily recycles copper hot water tanks, plumbing pipes and electrical cables to create her sculptures. She enjoys giving new creative life to formerly functional objects. Her sculptures are inspired by nature and capture the essence of the subjects, from lumbering elephants to tiny mice and delicate or flamboyant flowers. She creates sculptures that have a relationship with their surroundings, whether it’s a heron stalking the fish in a pond or an intricate vine heart filling a previously uninteresting space on a wall. Her sculptures will age beautifully in a garden setting because unlike steel, copper doesn’t rust. Emily loves to make art that makes you smile.
