There is a colourful display of Shaun the Sheep sculptures at Trentham Gardens ready for the Easter holiday, it's called Find the Flock. Shaun the Sheep is a popular spin off character from the Wallace and Gromit film A Close Shave by Aardman Animations. The sculptures made in collaboration with Aardman and Wild in Art are 160cm or 5ft 3ins tall. On their plinths they seem taller.
Each of the flock have a theme and some of the detail on the art work is lovely. Above are Beauty and The Beasties, Counting Sheep, Sakura, Shaun the Sheep, Baaaart Deco and Shoal the Sheep.
The six more above are A-Green-Culture, The Beekeeper, Trail Grazer, Hitsuji, Can't See the Wool for the Trees and Panda-monium.
Above are closer details of some of the sculptures most of which had a wildlife theme.
Shaun the Sheep stands in front of the tents where over the next few weeks lambing will happen for the flock of rare breed sheep.
All for now. Have a happy and peaceful weekend.
Oh gosh! They are super - love them all and such a wonderful idea. Have a good weekend Rosie.
ReplyDeleteWe had great fun finding them all, I think they will be popular over the holidays, hope you too have had a good weekend:)

ReplyDeleteShaun, I think, appeals to all ages, we had fun finding them all:)
DeleteWhat great fun, the children will love them, wonderful paintwork on some of them. It reminds me of my trip to Bristol recently when we saw Shaun on the balcony of the Aardman offices. Ooh lambing, you'll have to go back for that! 😊
ReplyDeleteIt was great fun and will be hugely popular over the holidays, I spotted Shaun on one of your photos. We will go back for lambing, probably after Easter as it gets very busy at weekends and bank holidays:)
