Peter Lewis Completes Memorial Commission


Peter Lewis, who studied Ceramics at WSI Nepean last year,  has won a commission to produce a bronze memorial.

"This work will be sent to a metal foundry to be cast in bronze for a K9 memorial being installed at Tahmoor, NSW to honour police dogs which have died in the line of duty.

I used the free form coil building technique to create the work using the skills that I was taught at TAFE by Sue Jorgensen and Rob Linigen. This meant the the sculpture is hollow (therefore lightweight) and I did not need a metal armature to support the work. " Peter Lewis
