Border Fine Arts

I worked as a Border Fine Arts sculptor from 1995 through to 2010. (Please note, however, that I am not a stockist of Border Fine Arts figurines. In addition, ‘Border Art repairs’ in Langholm would be happy to help you with any repair requests.

Border Fine Arts were a figurine manufacturing company based in Langholm, in the Scottish Borders.

As a Border Fine Arts sculptor, Kirsty worked partly as an employee, but she was mostly freelance. Kirsty sculpted many of their original waxes, which included a variety of cattle breed studies, and some of the ‘James Herriot’ collection. After creating the original pieces in modelling wax, they then went on to be moulded and put into production.

Each piece of work for Border Fine Arts was extremely detailed. Kirsty worked from photographs and other reference material, visited farms and consulted with experts to get each piece as realistic and accurate as possible.
