Graculus Sculptures, Reeth - Michael Kusz is a Yorkshire-based sculptor who uses inventive welding techniques to transform old copper into unique and often quirkily humorous artworks. His sculptures of animals and birds - everything from a five-inch butterfly to a nine-foot phoenix - are bursting with life and energy, and reflect his passion for materials, his keen sense of form and texture, and his keen sense of fun.

Austwick Hall, Settle. Set in ten acres of beautiful woodland the sculpture trail consists of a growing collection of contemporary sculpture of both abstract and figurative pieces in a range of different materials. Many of the sculptures have been commissioned from local artists. Take your time to explore each piece - it's form, colour and touch. Be inspired and enjoy the art.

Stoneface Sculptures, Sheffield. The Sculptures created by Stoneface are a sincere reflection of human emotion transcribed into a three dimensional form. There is a sincerity and openness in all of his work and often a representation of the links between man, nature, the past and the present. The increasing popularity of his work is due to his ability to sculpt emotion into his pieces. The demand for commissions and the increasing number of private collectors are indicative of his international standing.
