Birdbaths used as memorial pieces

When I began making the birdbaths in 1986 I knew I wanted them to convey stillness, tenderness and be about something enduring. And that I would use a degree of austerity to serve those aims. Additional to being birdbaths these pieces may also serve as a memorial.

Their physical scale is massive. Not only are the solid oak bases very heavy but the birdbaths are 'chunky' in construction. Norman and Saxon fonts and architecture have played a part in their conception, as has landscape. It is often in a dormant Winter garden that these pieces look their best.

Their fabric is Salt glazed ceramic which makes them quite un-porous. Should the water in them freeze, their upper forms are such that it has room to expand outwards and upwards.

A plaque of brass or bronze, on which are inscribed a name and dates, may be attached to the base. This is £50 for the brass and £200 for the bronze.

Initially we can send reliable digital images of current stock by email to help you to an informed choice. Depending on where you live you may instead decide to visit the workshop to see pieces for yourself. [Email: smwalton@btconnect.com]
