Gibson Library Society AGM, followed by a talk. Full details will be circulated to members later in the month.

This will be followed by :
Saffron Walden 1647 – a new Memorial, a talk by Ian Wolter

Ian is to create a major new sculpture to mark a moment in the spring of 1647 when the New Model Army negotiated with the Government in our St Mary’s Church. In this talk he’ll share some of his other public artworks that together have led him to the exciting design for this new memorial.

Ian Wolter is an award-winning sculptor. His public works include ‘Safe Haven: the Kinder Transport memorial in Harwich’, ‘The Children of Calais’ in Saffron Walden, and works for the Fry Galley, the National Army Museum and Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford University.

A graduate of the Cambridge School of Art, he is the recipient of the British Sustainability Art Prize, the Arte Laguna Prize in Venice and the Rome Art Sculpture Prize in Rome.

Non-members are welcome to attend but may not take part in the business of the AGM.
