SCULPTURE ACROSS IDEAS FEST 2026
9-10 September · Champneys Tring
A CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT WE PRESENTED
Across Ideas Fest 2026, Artisan Collective presented ten works by six leading British sculptors, positioned throughout the festival at Champneys Tring.
Below, you can discover each piece and the person behind it. Every work remains available to buy, alongside a wider portfolio from each creator and the wider Collective of 150+ artists, sculptors and designers. If something caught your eye at Ideas Fest, or you have an idea of what you’re looking for, let’s have a chat and see if we can help.
Among those taking part was Simon Gudgeon, founder of Sculpture by the Lakes and The Sculpted Soul. Alongside exhibiting his work, Simon brought The Sculpted Soul experience to Ideas Fest, with sound bath sessions taking place across both days in the Unplugged tent. You’ll find more about Simon and The Sculpted Soul below.
THE SCULPTED SOUL
Simon Gudgeon is an internationally recognised British sculptor and founder of Sculpture by the Lakes and The Sculpted Soul.
Alongside exhibiting at Ideas Fest 2026, Simon brought The Sculpted Soul to the festival, leading immersive sound bath sessions centred around his incredible 60-inch gong, accompanied by singing bowls and other instruments.
The sessions offered a completely different experience alongside the sculpture programme - an opportunity to stop, reset and experience sound and vibration in an extraordinary way.
