Sculptor Jim Read
"I took up sculpture after going to an exhibition in September 2006 at Hergest Croft garden in Herefordshire. I found that I was quite good at doing relief sculpture and have eventually made one that I think is good enough to sell. I have also nearly finished another one and will have that one ready for sale soon.
Prior to doing the sculpture I made and sold photographs, I had 12 exhibitions of my photographic work over a period of fifteen years. I worked in a small and not very well ventilated darkroom and about 2 years ago became aware of the toxicity of the chemicals I was using. I made the decision to call a halt to it, took my chemicals to be safely disposed of and looked around for something else to do."
