Hannah Peschur Sculpture Park trip booklet GCSE 3D design

Celebrating their 40th Anniversary in 2024, The Hannah Peschar Sculpture Garden exhibits an ever-changing collection of contemporary sculpture throughout the magical gardens. Surrounding a 15th century, Grade 2 listed cottage, the grounds have been lovingly restored and reinvented over the past 45 years by owner and renowned landscape designer Anthony Paul. Using a palette of broadleaved, architectural plants, ponds, and mature trees, Anthony and his wife Hannah Peschar have created a truly unique and magical environment. In the early 1980’s, Hannah Peschar created the Sculpture Garden - seeing an opportunity to create something distinctive and truly special within the garden. Over the past 40 years, the Sculpture Garden has continued to display and sell a huge variety of contemporary sculpture from artists across the UK and Europe. Placement is key - each sculpture is carefully sited in harmony with its surroundings. It might be how a tree or branch frames a piece, how textures or colours are mirrored from art to nature, or how the sun and shadows will interact with a sculpture throughout the day. The relationship between art and nature is fundamental to the Sculpture Garden, and this synergy gives the garden an atmosphere unlike any other. Artists come far and wide to exhibit their work each year. A plethora of materials, themes and ideas awaits visits - some out in clear view and others cleverly nestled amongst the dramatic fauna. Each sculpture (or series of sculpture) is given their own space - allowing the viewer to explore and appreciate each piece individually. Trip activities including observational drawings, find and take photo task, analysis and Bingo style games
