 http://www.julianwadsworth.co.uk/



Based in West Yorkshire, Artist Blacksmith Julian Wadsworth creates wrought iron gates and railings, iron sculptures, architectural iron fittings and furniture.

Chuck Christopher - Welded Steel Sculpture
 http://www.chuckchristopher.com/



This small but enjoyable site is a showpiece for Chuck Christopher's lifesize wildlife sculptures, each one constructed from welded steel. There is a gallery with decent quality photographs of the sculptures in situ, plus information about their construction, and a section covering work in progress. However, the site would be significantly enhanced by the addition of more detailed annotation and background information about the artist. [GAS, 11 Sep 2006].

Fine's Gallery - Marble and Bronze Handcarved Sculptures
 http://www.finesgallery.com/



Florida-based Fine's Gallery describes itself as a "unique company that wholesales and retails beautiful marble and bronze creations. We sell marble and bronze fountains, statues, busts, benches, tables, benches, planters, vases, fireplaces, mantels, ballusters, stairs, furniture, oriental rugs, jade and custom designed pieces designed by master artists which are carved from fine Italian marble". The site is essentially a showcase for these products; divided into three basic sections - covering marble products, bronze products and home decor - the sheer number of menus on the homepage (six, including text, graphics and imagemaps) makes the site look much more complex than it really is. Otherwise, the design of the site is very good, with a neat layout and excellent quality images. [GAS, 11 Sep 2006].

Jonathan Hedge - Stone Carver
 http://www.carvinginstone.co.uk/



Jonathan Hedge specialises in "carvings for private and public sculptural commissions in various types of stone for restoration, contemporary sculpture, design and landscape features". The site is understandably centred around a portfolio, featuring excellent quality images of Hedge's work. Visitors can click on the thumbnails to view individual pieces, or take advantage of the slide show provided. Many of the carvings, it has to be said, are quite stunning. A helpful links page includes well-chosen links to stone, landscape, architecture and artist-related sites. [GAS, 19 Oct 2006].
