Natureworks is proud to have worked on numerous art, culture and community projects that harness the power of sculpture to support events, artists, local communities, museums and heritage centres.
For some of these projects (such as Giant Hearts and Dreamtime Serpent), Natureworks supplied unpainted sculptures ready for artistic interpretation. If you want something similar, just ask us!
