Meet the Lost Garden of Heligan's fox 'Lowarnes'

Available for over a year

The fox was made from the wood of a 150-year-old Cornish Red rhododendron that came down during a storm at the gardens near St Austell. Staff from Heligan helped hand-split 600 pieces of wood for the pouncing fox's fur. This was all under the direction of Cornish brother and sister artists Sue and Pete Hill and Hal Silvester. 麻豆社 Spotlight's Johnny Rutherford has been to the Lost Gardens of Heligan to meet Sue and the enormous sculpture.
