Irongarden Art

Metal Garden Sculpture
Linda and Kevin Hull combine artistic talent and engineering skill to design and make affordable, larger-than-life insects for the garden.  All their insects are made in metal, using recycled material, whenever possible, which is left to weather and colour naturally outdoors.  When translating the insect into metal, they watch and observe in its natural environment. Drawings capture the main characteristics and aim to express the insect's personality.  A flat pattern is drafted before the metal is cut out and fabricated. It is bent, rolled and folded into the insect form and welded together. Pattern and textural detail is added by 'drawing' holes in the metal or decorating the surface with liquid metal. Irongarden ART sculptural insects have featured in 'The Daily Telegraph' and gardening magazines.

Wacky Wire Jewellery – Designer & Maker Linda Hull
"I like working with wire because I can draw and paint with it. When I start making I use no pattern, no jig, no template just a length of wire and my imagination. In order to enjoy the making, it is essential that each piece is different and the work spontaneous. I love using colour, finding new motifs and developing new techniques. My aim is to keep the work new fresh and exciting in a lively, creative way".
Linda's main inspiration for wacky wire, is the solar system and outer space. Her work can be found in galleries across the country.

Linda is a member of DesignGap.
