Coach House Arts is an arts practice set up by Willow and Wire Sculptor Vik Westaway.
Vik began her creative journey as a theatre designer and maker, using willow as a framework for carnivalesque costumes. Since gaining these skills and experience she developed her practice to bring her dynamic sketches to life, creating forms from willow and wire that encapsulate her love of texture and mass.
Vik splits her time between her Coach House Studio where she works to commission on projects for large gardens & public spaces and cultural programmes that connect communities.
Participatory arts projects include giant light festivals, summer sculpture trails, lantern parades and place making activities. Vik collaborates with fellow professional artists, production teams and a vibrant volunteer sector to create happenings, site-specific commissions that gather people together to learn, create and celebrate.
Clients include designers, private collectors, companies, charities, councils and housing groups, education settings, summer schools. In addition she has created large scale sculptures for The Woodland Trust and award winning gardens at The RHS Chelsea and Hampton Court Flower Shows.
