Sculpting is snow joke

Comments (0)CORSHAM sculptor Andrea Garrihy has added a touch of Wiltshire to an international snow-sculpting exhibition in Norway.
Ms Garrihy joined sculptors from across Europe for a week-long icy adventure in Hovden in Southern Norway in January. The artist, who has previously received prizes for her snow-sculpting, was acting as a teacher for several keen Norwegian artists who wanted to learn more about snow-sculpting.
She said: "I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It was clean and cold and we were put up in the best hotel in town, which had a fantastically wonderful heated pool. I haven't done it for a few years so it fuelled my love of snow-sculpting again."
Ms Garrihy is responsible for the Neston Knot on the village recreation ground which she carved from Bath stone in 2002.
Last month, she and her Norwegian team carved a three-metre cube of compressed snow into a Norway Knot. Photos from this event and others are on display in Corsham Library until the end of the month.
