Sculpting in a Barn on a Farm.

Sculpting in a Barn on a Farm.

Hello and welcome to my Blog. My name is Jonathan Hateley and I am a sculptor. I have sculpted for many years in TV, film and theatre, mainly at model-making and effects companies as well four years at the English National Opera. Now though, most of my time is spent in a Barn on a Farm creating sculptures I choose to create and revealing them to the public through art galleries and exhibitions. My work is generally representational, both of the human figure, wildlife and other aspects of nature, though these can often be the basis for abstract shapes. My work is in constant development.

I hope my blog will give some insight into life as a sculptor, or at least my life as a sculptor, and create an interest in the work I produce. You can see my main website at:

My current main project is '365' which involves sculpting 365 small bas-relief sculptures, one each day, all of which will be placed on one larger sculpture. It is all based on nature throughout the year. You can read more in my Day 1 intro

365 Day 21



365 Day 21

Holly leaves and berries, and I guess a real feeling that winter is almost here if it isn’t already. I took a cutting while walking part of the farmland that I hadn’t been on before. In fact, it could be said I was slightly lost, that I had to ask a horse rider a quick way back to the road so as to avoid being in forest when the dark set in. As the number of sculpts increases, I am really getting a lot of encouragement from seeing them altogether, rather than in isolation. I am so used to working for much longer on my sculpts, so to leave such small things after only an hour or so has taken some getting used to.
