Paul goes for bronze

29.04.2015

Friends at the London Bronze Casting foundry have been busy for the past few months working on the casting of Paul’s work.  Avid readers of our news site will remember the mould being made some months ago of the Portuguese Senator, originally carved from Portuguese marble.

As you can see the piece has progressed beautifully and now they are finishing off the all important patina.

The bronze will be on Paul’s stand at Chelsea Flower Show which opens on 18th May.

Waste not…..

Paul recently had a visit from Tim Brotherton of Brotherton-Lock photographic services. They wanted to use some of the offcuts of marble that gather around the studio for some photographic work they were doing.

The wide variety of marble that Paul works with makes rich pickings and the end results are quite stunning. It’s intriguing to see the marble used in this way and a fascinating contrast to Paul’s finished pieces. We hope to do some more work with them in the future.

Portoro Desk installed into Saville Row reception

09/03/2015

Last week Paul and Vitaly installed (with a few extra hands!) a commission for a desk designed for a Saville Row client.

The desk began as a 16 tonne block of Italian Portoro Marble which was selected from a yard in Carrara by Paul and William from Workingstone last year. This marble comes from the region of La Spezia where it is quarried from under the sea, The distinctive black and bright gold pattern is formed in a marine environment where it is deep, poorly oxygenated and rich in organic matter.

The desk has been a very exciting project and the opportunity to work with the architects at Denton Corker Marshall was a pleasure. The installation was expected to be quite and undertaking but the expertise of the whole team (including Tony from Riverside Haulage) ensured it happened smoothly.

Just goes to show what’s possible! From the depths of the sea to the reception of Saville Row offices.

Last week the Evening Standard featured one of Pauls sculptures in the sumptuous setting of a Regency home in the outer circle of London’s Regents Park.

Belonging to property specialist Naomi Heaton the Onyx sculpture sits in the entrance hall of her home and sits on a block of black marble. It seems to be surrounded by a small fish pond at its base.

We always welcome images of Pauls work in it’s setting. If any one would like to send images of their Paul Vanstone sculpture you can email them direct to us using details on the contact page.
