Commissioned by Sheffield Forgemasters International, sculptor Robin Widdowson- Gotham-D will lead this visionary project assisted by artist Sara Beavan that will take a group of apprentices on a creative journey culminating in a landmark sculpture in the industrial heartland of Sheffield.
About The Project
- Robin Widdowson
- I have over 25 years of experience working in this field producing high quality, innovative, robust artworks that have stood the test of time. I understand and embrace the involvement of community groups and individuals in the development of creative ideas and the design processes of artworks to produce pieces that are sympathetic to their environments while giving the audience, participants and the local community a real sense of ownership.

Back in Play: Production Day 10
Today is the start of probably the worst part, but absolutely necessary processes in the production. Mild Steel (which the Scorpion is made of) has a protective surface to stop it rusting quickly. We want the artwork to be rusty. Therefore all of this surface needs grinding off, everywhere: a dirty and laborious task!
Two of the lads, Liam & Dom have produced a stinger model/mock-up so that we can check the size before ordering this expensive component.
