The Artists in the 2009 Sculpture Symposium
The 2009 Symposium cluster was concentrated on an area which has formed the town’s defences throughout its history – particularly in medieval times. The area is called Castlefields, and once had a fort at its highest point, called a motte and bailey castle. Castlefields is a glacial moraine, and artists worked with glacial stones and boulders to create their piece.
August 3rd to 14th 2009 hosted sculptors from Europe and South America at a symposium located at the local stone quarry where they created work to be exhibited in a cluster at Castlefields by the Mere.
