Young Swifts a Perfect Gift

Latest news for the Swift Sculpture & Statue project is the casting of the young Swift sculpture made by JOEL last year.



The aim is to make a classic bronze sculpture within the budget of more people, without compromising on detail or quality. A lovely Gift for a special person or event.

JOEL intends to make and cast an even younger Swift...Now there is a lovely thought for the Swift Family and Fans!

The first young Swifts have 'flown' off to Swift conservationists in Aldeburgh, Suffolk. Who do so much to champion the cause of the Swift. Here Young Swift and their book 'Storm' - very popular in schools.
