Arts + Spend the day in the studio

Friday 18 July 2025

Our next Arts+ event will be an opportunity for a private tour to see the work of two local sculptors close-up and at first-hand. Roy Evans and Just Boyt are renowned Wiltshire sculptors with very contrasting styles and approaches to their work.

Roy specialises in copper work to create unique two and three dimensional pieces inspired by nature. Roy’s sculptures are created using traditional methods and techniques that bring the stunning colours and textures of these metals to life. Each piece begins with a preliminary drawing or maquette before the metal is crafted into its final form. During our visit we will see works in progress in Roy's workshop and see and hear about his artistic ideas and processes.

Judy’s work is often on a large scale and combines the two passions in her life, animals and the Arts. Judy is particularly renowned for her sculptures of horses including the famous Grand National and Cheltenham Gold Cup Winner Golden Miller. Judy works from the ‘inside out’- the dynamics of the skeletal structure, adding the flesh and muscle, to the final skin layer – creating a sculpture that has presence and a soul, capturing the living essence in the final metal cast.

Judy has exhibited at galleries across the UK and in America.
