Nature Spirals and The Love & Hope Boat

Wed 16 & Thur 17 Aug, drop-in 11am - 4pm

The Hepworth Wakefield Garden

Work with artists and enjoy playful sculpture activities in our Nature Spirals workshop in The Hepworth Wakefield Garden.

The Love and Hope Boat is inspired by the boat held aloft in the hand of The Amazonian Caiman God, symbolising the touching love story of artist Jason Wilsher-Mills’ parents.

A retired boat from Pugneys Country Park has been upcycled for the project. Fondly dubbed HMS Pugness by the team at Pugneys, the boat offers a chance for people to contribute artwork, inspired by love and hope, as it sets sail across the district.  

About the Wakefield Sculpture Trail

The Wakefield Sculpture Trail is an exciting series of sculptures across the city centre. The sculptures have been created by artists Annie Morris, Andy Holden, Halima Cassell, Jason Wilsher-Mills and Ro Robertson and are here for everyone to enjoy.  

Over the summer, explore the sculptures and take part in creative activities with a celebration event on Saturday 16 September to welcome the sculptures to their new home of Wakefield. 

 All events are FREE and suitable for all ages.
