Verdigris's proprietor,
David Hyde,
is gradually building up a portfolio of sculpture inspired by plants,
nature and natural forms. This page shows a selection of snowdrop
sculptures typically less than a metre high. Larger snowdrops made both
as garden lights and sculpture can be seen here, whilst this blog page shows examples of David's sculpture being made.
The snowdrops are all bespoke and hand forged. Their clean flowing lines and rich detail are designed to capture all of the grace and charm of one of David's favourite garden plants.
They are either made from
copper or
galvanised
steel.
The copper can be patinated
with a verdigris finish whilst the galvanised steel can be left to weather naturally, or specially
aged to have a wonderfully rich powdery, grey-white finish reminiscent of old lead.

The snowdrop sculptures are typically between 800mm to 1m tall
