I happened to be passing a field of sheep with new-born lambs just minutes old, and stopped to collect photographs and sketch movement. I then rushed back to the workshop to make my first lamb, which I then could not bear to sell. (Many subsequent lambs have, however, made their way to new homes.)

I love the hesitant way new-born lambs move, balanced on legs they are still learning to control, knees bending in unexpected directions.

All life-size, mama sheep is £1,250 and the lambs are £325 each.
