]]> Is it a stone? Or perhaps a cloud? Is that a person or maybe a mountain? Take a closer look inside . . .What do you see?

.Barbara Hepworth was a twentieth-century British artist who found a way to capture entire worlds in her bold sculptures. Hepworth loved the shapes and textures that she saw in the countryside and carved them into wood and stone. Some sculptures look familiar, but for others you might need to use your imagination! Explore the world of Barbara Hepworth with illustrator and ceramicist, Laura Carlin, and discover that art is all around you!

Created by ceramics artist and illustrator Laura Carlin, this book provides insights into Hepworth’s bold works, both naturalistic and abstract, and inspires children to create 3D forms inspired by the natural world.
