On Sunday 2nd February, artist and sculptor, Rodney Munday held an informative talk at the Cirencester Parish Church about the upcoming and exciting Project Black Jack. Mr Munday is the artist who has won the commission to produce statues of St John the Baptist and the Virgin Mary which are to be reinstated in the northwest and southwest niches of the tower in the Cirencester Parish Church.
Mr Munday spoke about his life and work as well as his aspirations for the two statues and answered any questions that any members of the community and church congregation had.
In the morning, Rodney Munday revealed two impressive clay maquettes (detailed scale models) of both Virgin and Child and St. John cast in bronze resin. These miniature versions of the statues are now on display in the Church.
