Copper & Resin Animal Figures

Sorry, these are no longer available

Charles Red Squirrel Sculpture Charles Red Squirrel Sculpture

'Charles' was a limited edition of 100 pieces in cold-cast copper.

The sculpture was created over many hours with Kirsty applying the intricate detail to the modelling wax original by hand. After moulding this original, each piece was made to order, and cast by a Cumbrian company in the Lake District.

The sculpture's copper surface was then polished, buffed, waxed, finished and boxed by Kirsty, by hand. 'Charles' is life-size and stands at just a little under 30cm (approx.11.5").

The edition is now sold out, but you can still order Charles' mate 'Willow' and their offspring 'George' & 'Rowan', plus 'Hope' below, but be quick before they all sell out!

'Charles' was based on 'Charles' the orphan Red squirrel kitten who was rescued, hand-reared and released back into the wild.
The kitten was named after HRH Prince Charles, and Kirsty presented number one of this edition to His Royal Highness in February 2011, at the launch of a new Red Squirrel conservation initiative.

Rowan Red Squirrel Sculpture Rowan Red Squirrel Sculpture

'Rowan' is the fifth Red Squirrel sculpture in the series. She is a determined and mischievous juvenile, the second 'off-spring' of 'Charles' and 'Willow' and sister to 'George'...

'Rowan' is a limited edition of 150 pieces, some of which will be cast in white resin and hand painted (below), and some will be made in cold-cast copper, as in this listing.

She is life-sized and is in an autumnal woodland floor setting with newly fallen Rowan leaves, and conkers peeping out glossily from their still green casings...

Rowan was first sculpted in modelling wax, then after a double moulding process, she started to be cast, in Cumbria in the north of England.

The white resin version is hand painted, and these copper ones are polished with wire wool and then a polishing compound and wax.

If you place an order we will keep you updated on the progress of your squirrel and we will always try to turn the order around as quickly as possible.
