T
he first time entrant’s interest in sculpting began 30 years ago through his engineering work. “I was making fancy wrought iron gates, and that led to being creative,” said Terry. “As a sideline, I was making little horse chairs for children. Then I started making different things; a crayfish, a weta, a fish and started making general ornaments.” Terr y said he likes making different items. “I’m always making things around home, such as fancy gates. Wrought iron gates are very arty.” As Terry owns and runs the Kimbolton Garage, he works on his sculptures in the evenings or weekends. With last year’s sculpture festival held in the area, Terry decided to enter. He estimates spending close to 150 hours
