Hardy’s  wine

Brief:

Create a profile bust of Hardy’s wine founder, Thomas Hardy, for use as an embossed cameo on bottle labels.

The tricky element of this brief was that only a few photos of Thomas Hardy exist, and none were close to a profile view, so prior to sculpting, I had to create a profile portrait from scratch.

Although perhaps not the most creative brief in terms of scope, this was one of the most challenging jobs I’ve ever taken on.
