Artist Talk: Pete Donnelly

Join Goole-born sculptor Pete Donnelly for a free, illustrated talk exploring his creative process and the development of his recent Goole bicentenary commission, which is now on permanent display at Goole Museum.

Pete will discuss how an idea develops into a finished sculpture, from early concepts and research through modelling, firing and surface treatment. He will also reflect on the relationship between creativity and wellbeing, the role sculpture has played within his own life, and some of the challenges and rewards of maintaining an artistic practice alongside work and family life.

The talk will also introduce a selection of Pete’s previous work, offering an insight into the themes, influences and techniques that have shaped his wider sculptural practice.
