Commissioning Work with Judy Boyt

How to commission

Please contact the Artist to discuss the possible projects – the Artist likes to have the client get involved with all stages of design and sculpture so they feel a real affinity with the final sculpture.

For example, when creating the Bull, ‘The Black Prince’ for the Dransfield Properties Ltd commission, situated in Morpeth.

  1. Take a real Bull
  2. Take time to observe all the Bull’s moods, characters and conformation
  3. Make drawings to capture the best characteristics
  4. Visit the Bull’s chosen site, work from the architects plans and liaise extensively with the client in the hope of creating the piece they had envisaged.
  5. Make a rough ‘Maquette’, a small working sketch, which to larger scale
  6. Draw detailed scale plans
  7. Work closely with the architects, structural engineers and the fabricator to work out loading weights, pressures and fixing points of the Bull to comply with structural specifications of the building/site.
  8. Make smaller version in clay
  9. In this case the end result had to be flipped from the original clay model
  10. Scale up armature
  11. Add clay
  12. Add personality
  13. Add story
  14. Make cast moulds
  15. The Bull, ‘The Black Prince’ is cast and finished in fibreglass/resin over a steel armature

Judy is also available for consultancy work and private drawings.
