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 8



365 Day 8

I started picking little cuttings as well as taking photos from this point on my walks. So this came from picking a piece of brown bracken fern on a very muddy walk around a wildlife reserve in Sevenoaks, Kent. I loved the look of it, though it got me longing for the curling fronds of spring. It also got me thinking that I needed to simplify my sculpts somehow, because of time and size restrictions.
