Laury's studio as artist-in-residence under the patronage of Her Grace, the Duchess of Rutland is set up close to Belvoir Castle in Knipton - in the small cottage at the end of circular courtyard adjacent to Knipton Lodge.  Click here  if you wish to visit the Belvoir Castle website.

The focus for Laury in 2012 is on continuing to develop an arts programme to benefit the local community, after  creating in 2011 a rural sculpture trail using sustainable materials called the Belvoir "3Rs - Reclaimed, Recycled, Raw" Sculpture Trail. She is also working on creating another bronze bust for the Manners family, after successfully completing the busts of Lady Violet, Lady Alice and Lady Eliza.

"Musings on sustainable sculpture design and a desire to help establish more sculpture trails and parks were two factors in deciding to collaborate with the Duchess of Rutland  as her artist-in-residence. Besides giving me the fantastic opportunity to create a sculpture trail in the Vale of Belvoir, she has also asked me to create busts of her kids, which is wonderful as I am going to contribute contemporary stuff (timeless bronze busts) to Belvoir's collection of art!"


Background:

In September 2010, Laury moved back to England to set up a new sculpture studio in a rural community in the Vale of Belvoir where the ancient seat of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland is located (in the Lincolnshire / Leicestershire border area of the East Midlands).

The studio and cottage are at the end of the circular courtyard adjacent to Knipton Lodge, near Grantham in Lincolnshire, a stone's throw from the Leicestershire border (some dispute where Knipton actually belongs county-wise) and close to the nearby town of Melton Mowbray.

The Belvoir 3Rs Sculpture Trail is described in some detail including footage of some of the proposed portions of the two mile trail in the Vale of Belvoir.
