Delve into the brilliant creative minds at the British Ironwork Centre, and read about what we have currently in the works. We are always dreaming bigger and bolder, and here is where we display our ideas and conceptual images of future sculptures we plan to create.
We are often approached by organisations, including West Mercia Police, Cheshire Fire & Rescue, and countless local and national companies, all keen to collaborate with us to create something spectacular.
Our visions often highlight important political, social and environmental issues, as we are passionate about using our resources to ignite change.
We were chosen to be included based on the work previously completed for West Mercia Police Headquarters at Hindlip Hall. Their mandate or direction offered was, we needed to follow a similar design theme to West Merica, in that we should use recovered weapons as the build medium from the welsh constabulary. We were left to design and propose a suitable theme. Dragons are a very common theme, and it was felt this the most viable option. We therefore explored Gwent Myths for inspiration and natural phenomena or creatures unique to the area, all to find a theme.
Our favourite vision was that representing an eagle or bird of prey, nesting high in a tree, and made from recovered guns and blades. For us, we felt it offered theatre and an imposing sight – almost overseeing police activities with its keen eyesight. The nest for us represented a nurturing element, of protection, safety, and care – all the same attributes the police are held in regard for. The bird of prey, whether it is an eagle or falcon, would obviously have feathers created largely by the blades provided. The whole vision inspires the understanding from anyone gazing upon it, that something beautiful from something awful had been created – that impression would and should be immediately obvious.
