Garden Jewels – Dew Drops and Bodkins

The team at the Hannah Peschar Sculpture Garden in Surrey have described Neil’s work beautifully:

“Capturing the delight and attention of young and old, Neil Wilkin’s spectacular ‘Dew Drops’ glisten in the dancing sunlight. Meticulously sculpted from solid glass, these immaculate forms capture – and flip – the surroundings perfectly. Most at home along the water’s edge – the light reflecting and refracting from the rippling water is mirrored in the droplets of glass. A photographer’s dream – a thousand viewpoints through the cluster. Described as a master in his field, and one of Britain’s most important hot-glass makers, the quality of Wilkin’s work truly speaks for itself. Wilkin’s drops are individually formed from incredibly high-quality glass and the attention to detail follows through into the base of the pieces. Not content with a simple steel rod, each stem is painstakingly crafted to mimic a growing stem.”
