THERE has been a display of the work of Jacob Chandler in Church Stretton.

People have had the chance to see some of the work of the self-caught sculptor who is noted for his art using a range of different materials including metal.

Jacob Chandler was born and bred in Shropshire and grew up in a family of artists and designers, where making and creating was a lifestyle.

He studied Art at Thomas Telford School and was one of two A-level artists in the country used to celebrate artistic achievement by the examining board.

Jacob had originally intended to be an architect but ill health made this impossible so he embarked upon a career as a sculptor.

He has been visiting artist at the British Ironwork Centre and has received a number of public commissions.

His work has been on display at a special exhibition that has been staged in Church Stretton Library.
