Gary Tipladys Wire Sculptures

Wire art


The 7 ft 3ins Giant makes these model animals, moulded, bashed together with Woven galvanised wire mesh and a hammer. I sometimes have a nibble on the wires to help bend them into shape. It’s my trademark.

I study photographs and my drawings and then sculpt them all together with my massive hands. They really help, the only problem I can’t find gloves to fit. I study designs from books on the internet, but I’ve got everything to build them in my head.

  1. Absolutely love the Bedlington! (having bred them for 30-odd years) I understand there’s a print available of the dog and the Angel of the North – how can I buy one, please? Don’t think I can afford an original sculpture.
