Meet Vik
Willow and Wire Sculpture Victoria Westaway, or Vik, as she's more commonly known, hails from South Somerset. She began her creative journey as a theatre designer and maker, using a willow framework for carnivalesque costumes. From here, she developed her practice, bringing her dynamic sketches to life by creating forms from willow and wire that encapsulate her love for texture and mass.

Now, her coach house studio, located in the heart of Mid Devon, serves as her base, where she works on various projects for gardens of all sizes, parklands, orchards, and public spaces. She collaborates with clients to design pieces that blend seamlessly into their surroundings.

Please note that this event takes place in the upstairs shop. For any further questions or information, please email enquiries@houseofmarbles.com. You can also visit our Accessibility page for more details.
