Commissioned: Artistic Carving Works

NBP was asked by Fiona Robbé, Landscape Architect designer for the Jo Wheatley All Abilities Play Space being constructed in Dalkeith, to create totem carvings for the Nature based Playground area. The artistic works were to include a range of symbols reflecting the local natural area, including animal depictions and patterns.

Our talented timber artists were able to complete 24 different totem posts  including, dolphins, seahorse, jelly fish, frog, parrot among others, with lovely natural patterns carved into the posts. The carvings enhanced the playground elements, giving sculptural and artist value, and added to the Nature based feel of the play space.

The play space was awarded the National Landscape Architecture Award – best Playscape at the 2019 ALIA Awards.
