myminifactory

Born in Bury St Edmunds, son of renowned sculptor Geoffrey Clark, Jonathan Clark mastered the art of sand-casting aluminium while serving his apprenticeship in his father's studio and foundry. He now creates from his Hartest studio in Suffolk, where he produces stunning aluminium sculptures that bring warriors and gods of mythology to life. His work also features boats and ships, as well as intricate heads that showcase his exceptional skill. Recently, Clark has pushed the boundaries of his craft with innovative pieces featuring aluminium and glass, including beautiful boats and sea-inspired sculptures. A highly sought-after public artist, Clark has completed numerous commissions, including the striking Ship of Fools in 1999, installed in Orcard Street, Ipswich, as well as Boadicea at Colchester Railway station roundabout and The Way of Life in Ely Cathedral. This remarkable object is part of the "Scan The World" initiative, a non-profit project launched by MyMiniFactory that aims to create a digital archive of fully 3D printable sculptures, artworks, and landmarks from around the globe for everyone to access for free. Scan the World is an open-source community effort, and anyone with interesting items they'd like to contribute can email stw@myminifactory.com to learn how to get involved.
