On-site Sculpture

Tipping Point is part of a UK-wide Arts
project that will feature eighteen sculptures
installed at designated sites throughout the UK.
The artworks and their installation are
fully funded by the project organisers.
 

Ruthin Craft Centre has been chosen
to host this as a nationally renowned venue
for the applied arts where the public
can view art freely.



 

John Merrill is a Denbighshire based artist,
he is very well known and has completed many
commissioned artwork installations
throughout the UK.

The artwork is available to view now
here on-site – but watch this space for
more news and announcements.

There will be a public launch later
in the summer, when all events will be revealed.
