Our projects
The main project for this year is to raise the funds needed to create the statue of Suzanne. We have approached, with Sylvie Pourcel's help, the young sculptor Filipo, who will be supported by his assistant José Midi.
We'll shortly be publishing the steps involved in creating the statue, from shaping the model in clay to casting it in bronze at the Cyclops foundry near Bordeaux, France.
