Recreation of Gibbons' Cravat
A partial recreation of Baroque woodcarver and sculptor Grinling Gibbons’ lace Cravat. This piece was made in collaboration with the Victoria & Albert Museum to celebrate the tercentenary of Gibbons’ death, and the process filmed to provide insight into his startlingly detailed work. The film can be seen HERE.
A process still of the cravat beside the 3D print. An initial visit was made to photograph and examine the original, and then work commenced with reference to the 3D print. Carved in limewood.
Details are cut into the surface to define the lace.
The initial shape is roughed in.
