Working in a disused stone quarry surrounded by wildlife, HELEN NOCK creates most of her outdoor sculptures, tables and birdbaths from reclaimed slate, mainly from Cornwall.   Into this she inlays sea-worn glass, pottery shards, pebbles and other found objects as mosaics, often evolving a narrative within each piece. Having been brought up in the old ways of ‘make-do-and-mend, she delights in making beautiful and practical objects, each carrying the stamp of her personality, but without using materials that cost the earth.
