As a covered forecourt to the Tabernacle Arts Centre based in the former Tabernacl chapel, this is very much a sculptural copper-clad structure, supported on 3 slate 'orthostats'. To succeed, it demanded, and achieved, a very high standard of copper craftsmanship to execute the three-dimensionally curved, triangular form which terminates in substantial boxed water spouts at the three corners. The judges acknowledged this fusion of art and copper craftsmanship with a Highly Commended award.As a covered forecourt to the Tabernacle Arts Centre based in the former Tabernacl chapel, this is very much a sculptural copper-clad structure, supported on 3 slate 'orthostats'.
