"I am also a sculptor of soapstone for relaxation and have had exhibitions of my artwork.   I have sold quite a few pieces. I really don’t have a theme when I start a sculpture. The rock guides me to the final sculpture. I think that is true for many creative sculpture artists. I have done over three hundred sculptures, over the last five years." (JCB in 2000, For Mother's Sake)

Jimmy fashioned all his pieces by hand, from blocks of soapstone using handsaws, files, sandpaper and polishing cloths. Even the smaller pieces - broaches and pendants - could take a number of hours to fashion.

Broaches & Pendants

Jimmy would display his broaches and pendants for sale at gigs alongside his music & DVDs. Many have an Indian theme.  

Ornamental Sculpture

Jimmy also created larger sculptures - some purely ornamental, some with a functional use - such as a bowl - and a number of complex examples consist of more than one piece of sculpting.

Sculpture Galleries

To view Jimmy's sculptural Opus, including those still for sale [not many], use the Sculpture Galleries: menu on the left.

[If you own a piece of sculpture by Jimmy that is not included in the Galleries, I would love to hear from you, so it can be added to the Galleries.]

A Note on the cataloguing:

Jimmy seldom named any of his sculptures. However, to help you search the Galleries, or visualize the ornamental sculptures, they have been catalogued using a descriptive name rather than just the uninformative catalogue number.
