Come join us at RHS Rosemoor, Devon, for the spectacular John Hadfield Summer Sculpture Exhibition. John works in stainless steel, first drawing the bird or animal and then welding and manipulating the steel to form the sculpture. All of his sculptures are one-offs, as each piece of art is made by hand, and although they can be similar, they are never exactly the same.

John has been interested in sculpture and drawing since a young boy. He grew up as the son of an engineer in the small village of Taleford, just outside of Ottery St Mary in East Devon and now lives in a cottage near East Budleigh. On retiring from his engineering job in 2013, he now has more time to enjoy his real love of sculpting the animals and birds of the much-loved Devon countryside around him.
