Talk & Demonstration “Adventure, travel and sculpting” with Mark Coreth
at Caryford Community Hall, Castle Cary on 17th October 2025 from 2.30 – 4.30pm
Mark is an internationally recognised master sculptor of wildlife, and is coming to Caryford Community Hall in Castle Cary – SOON – in fact on the 17th October 2025 from 2.30 – 4.30pm to give Bruton Art Society a Talk and Demonstration about his work and travels.
This talk was originally billed on the programme at Hadspen Village Hall, where we usually hold our workshops, but due to the unique opportunity of seeing and hearing an artist of such renown and standing, we decided to open the event up to all our members FREE OF CHARGE.
We have therefore changed the venue to accommodate a larger audience.
Members may bring guests, but we will ask them for a £5 entrance fee.
Mark spent his childhood on a farm in Kenya where his passion for wildlife began. Over the past 30 years he has travelled the globe studying hundreds of creatures in their natural habitat, from Europe to Africa and Asia, to the Galapagos,the Himalayas in search of the elusive snow leopard to Eastern Europe to study bison on the Polish borders, to Romania for bears and dragons in the Czech Republic. He has highlighted and filmed many documentaries based on his journeys and projects and he will be showing some of these during his talk.
Mark’s working methods begin with modelling in clay directly from his subjects in the field, which he says allows him to capture the essence of their energy in their natural habitat. He then develops the final piece ready for casting back in his studio, usually in bronze.
His work can be found in some of the most prestigious art collections in the world and if you would like to find out more before you come to listen to him in real life you can find him on www.markcorethstudio.com
We look forward to seeing you.
