Join Sculpture Conservator James Copper for the last Gallery Talk in our Henry Moore: The Sixties season. James will focus on the plaster sculpture Spindle Piece and talk more broadly about the journey of a sculpture – from conception, through its making and its use, to its secondary life.

Gallery talks are included in your Studios & Gardens admission ticket.
Please make your way to the exhibition gallery, talks begin at 14:30 and last around 15 minutes.
