About us
Alan Glasby thought he would ‘have a go’ at carving wildfowl decoys out of wood through a chance conversation with an army colleague. Who was to know that after an illustrious army and world class sporting career he would then become arguably one of the finest bird sculptors this country has seen.
Alan tragically passed away in March 2008 at the age of 62 and was denied the chance to produce more of his wonderful work. However he has left a lasting legacy and his work will live on forever.
Andrew, Alan’s son had learned the secrets of his father’s unique patination techniques. The family have always been close and Andrew felt compelled to ensure his father’s work was seen and enjoyed now and in the future. He took over AG Sculptures in Spring/Summer 2008 leaving a successful business that he had worked in and co-owned for 15 years.
Andrew’s passion for this art form grows and he has now produced 8 pieces of his own work and is currently working on a Kingfisher in flight. Judge for yourself but I think you’ll agree the natural talent in this family is very strong.
AG Sculptures is a true family business. Pauline, Alan’s widow has been very supportive in her son’s endeavour and still often attends shows with him. She deals with the accounting side of the business and his wife Natalie deals with administration and helps out wherever she can, pulling together as a team.
It has been a very difficult couple of years coming to terms with the loss of a wonderful husband and father but things are getting better and Andrew, Pauline and family are looking forward to the future. |
