The showcase for sculpture in stone. This summer exhibition, in an exquisite Cotswold setting, shows work by some of Britain's leading stone sculptors: Helaine Blumenfeld, Regis Chaperon, Mat Chivers, Luke Dickinson, Jon Edgar, Emma Maiden, Bridget McCrum, Nicolas Moreton, William Peers, Ana Ruiz Agui, Jude Tucker, Anthony Turner, Paul Vanstone, Nigel Watson, Dominic Welch, David Worthington and Emily Young. We are open for a month in mid-summer (June 8th-July 6th this year, but closed on Mondays and Tuesdays). This is art which is thoroughly at ease with the landscape, loves to be touched, and appeals to all the senses. An amazing variety of stones has been carved, from the exotic (Black Ethiopian marble, Bardiglio Imperiale, Persian Travertine) to the English (Ancaster, Polyphant, Clipsham, Portland). This is an exhibition which takes stone seriously.
Location: UK (The Cotswolds, near Oxford).

BBC radio audio file: "The Isle of Portland is part of Dorset’s World Heritage Coast. Its cliffs are a magnet for fossil hunters and a haven for unusual wildlife. But the island is also pock-marked with the huge quarries that produce the Portland stone that built St. Paul’s Cathedral. In Open Country, Helen Mark hears why one quarry company wants to start digging just three metres away from the cliff-edge. Geologists say it will destroy rare features and locals say their peace will be shattered. But isn’t quarrying the point of Portland? "
