KATE NEWLYN is a widely collected sculptor whose work ranges extensively in style, material and subject.  Frequently humorous, always honest and often moving, she injects a life into the inanimate that sets her apart from many of her contemporaries. 

As well as sculpting, Kate also teaches, but as a self-taught sculptor her approach differs from traditional methods.  So she established the Newlyn School of Sculpture to pass on her own (Newlyn) school of thought, the main aim of which is to take the mystique out of being an artist and turn the making of sculpture into something that's accessible to everyone.
