Quick Sculpt Queen Vic – Winner

Thanks again to everyone who entered Fibre’s “Quick Sculpt Queen Vic” competition at the V&A Village Fete last week. Over 200 people had five minutes to sculpt a likeness of her royal grumpiness. We had a few pro-sculptor hustlers on the day but we can spot them a mile away (usually a slightly shambolic, art teacher look). Our judges have been deliberating all week and have now declared the winner of the creative hamper – Frank Pope. Also commended are Gavin Knight and Andrew Rae.
Above left is Frank’s masterpiece, on the right the original by J.E. Boehm in 1887 (um, or is that the other way around?)

See all the sculptures here and photos from the event here.

Also don’t miss last year’s Quick Draw Queen Vic stall and drawings.
