Charity Auction
Local wood sculptor, Paul Sivell, has donated a very special piece of work to be auctioned as part of our fundraising efforts. Carved specially to grace the woodland setting of the Brading Faerie Festival and Wood Fair, earlier in September. Paul always had it in mind to give the work to the charity to help us raise more for our work, looking after the 29 outdoor sites island wide, so vital to local communities.
Many of our sites feature Paul’s carvings, his work is now iconic on the island and we could not be more delighted with this gift to support the countryside spaces we manage. Such a unique sculpture is a very special thing to own and we are sure it will generate a lot of interest.
In keeping with the magical woodland theme, the piece is a unicorn head and stands approximately 75cm high, sure to create a very striking focal point in any garden setting.
Alongside the Unicorn, two owl sculptures, created at this year’s County Show, will also be available and monies raised for the owls will benefit the Royal Isle of Wight Agricultural Society.
If you would like to make an offer on any of the pieces please contact us via email. The winning bids will be announced on Friday 11thOctober.
All 3 works can be viewed at the Gift to Nature shop, 12 Holyrood Street Newport, open Tuesday – Saturday. Or call us on 01093 296244 for more details.
