We are hoping this year that our Sculpture could go up to 36 feet tall. This means that a tall slender design would be preferable.
The design needs to suit the Oak Lathes we use please see gallery pictures in left hand menu www.wickermanoxford.co.uk for wicker sculptures already made.
Colour can be incorporated; lights in the eyes, a headpiece of sorts can create height and look very dramatic. The options are never ending. Please be considerate to copyright, only use fictional/mythical characters, and be thoughtful in your design.
The winning design will be built by Oxford Round Table member, Dan Barton and friends and the finished creation will be burnt at the Oxford Round Table Charity Firework Display on 6th November 2010 at South Parks, Oxford with all proceeds going to charity.The 2009 Oxford Round Table Fireworks display attracted crowds of approx 22,000 to watch the burning of the Ice Princess who stood 25 feet tall.
