“Living on the doorstep of the Cotswolds, and loving British livestock, it was only a matter of time before the Cotswold Ram became a subject to sculpt!” (HM)

A perfect fit for his loose handling of his sculpting material, Hamish Mackie’s limited edition bronze Cotswold Ram Head sculpture shows the wide sheep’s head covered in its characteristic thick woolly hair. This ancient breed of sheep was first introduced to England by the Romans and thanks to its magnificent appearance has long been known as the Cotswold Lion. Now classified as a rare breed, the fortunes of the Cotswolds wool trade were built on the export of its valuable fleece.

Living on the doorstep of the Cotswolds, and loving British livestock, it was only a matter of time before the Cotswold Ram became a subject to sculpt! Cotswold Rams are a rare breed sheep with lots of character. This sheep sculpture was made outside, with a Cotswold Ram as model, and is the first sculpture I have made with no visible eyes!

    Research Trip to the Isle of Ulva

    I have just returned from a week-long trip to the West Coast of Scotland and the Islands of the Inner Hebrides. It took me a while to get there - staying the night in Glasgow, then a spectacular drive through the Trossachs, along the banks of Loch Lomond, and across to Oban to take the boat to Mull. From there I boarded a small ferry, more used to transporting sheep perhaps, to the beautiful Isle of Ulva.

    A Snowy Start to 2021 and New Sculptures

    The year got off to a snowy start! I quite enjoy a good sprinkling of the white stuff. It turns the garden into a playground for a while! I also enjoy how it casts my sculptures in a new light, transforming the way they look outdoors. We had some fun trying to make snow sculptures too.
