Mick Kirkby-Geddes, thats me, a metal sculptor. I’m based in the Sculpture Lounge studios, established in an old textile mill in Holmbridge, a few miles away. Influenced by cartoons, 1970s kids tv, books, in fact anything really, I make sculptures to go inside and outside, public art and commissions and sometimes i work in schools too.

My throne and arch have finally been sited in Barley Hill Park Quiet Garden in Garforth. It’s good to finally get these pieces out of storage and where they were intended. It was a great commission to work on, we met as a group in my workshop and sketched out ideas for the two pieces ..read more

I’ve just completed a series of kids junk sculpture workshops in various Kirklees libraries. With a time limit of two hours each and the fact that they took place in libraries meant i was a bit limited as to what i could do but everyone who took part went home with at least one piece ..read more

We’ve just done another course, this one is not long after the last one because we’re fitting our schedule around Billy’s social life at the moment.
