    Sid Burnard was born in Brighton in 1948. Introduced to the art of beachcombing by his Romany grandmother, Sid learnt to appreciate the beauty of nature from an early age. His time at Bristol Guild of Applied Arts gave him a profound understanding of visual arts and crafts and allowed him to put his personal vision into practice.

    He is now based in Borth near Aberystwyth in Wales, where the flotsam and jetsam from the nearby sea is his only source of materials. Working with found objects, nothing is changed - simply introduced to one another. His driftwood pieces, usually birds, boats or mythical beasts, are full of his passion, integrity and wonderful humour.

    About the work

    About the Work
    Signed.

    One particular stretch of shore, deep in the armpit of Cardigan Bay, has become the final resting place for generations of lost soles. These soles, once fashioned by local boot and shoemakers, display long-forgotten skills as well as traditional materials.

    Quality of 100 year old leather, still stout. Copper nails that glint in salty sunshine. Is this a scrap from an urchins boot, or the heel from a local land-owners brogue? I wanted to bring it to life, and gave it this beautifully sea-worked, highly bleached bird head.

    The base is formed by two separate wooden items of contrasting shape, connected by colour.

    The picture I had arranged to see was ready for me and staff gave me lots of time to look at it and decide, but I loved it as soon as I saw it. No pressure. Very knowledgeable, friendly staff. I had great advice on framing and protective glass.

    Astonishing place. Driving home I realised it was probably the best experience I've ever had in a shop/gallery. I'll be filling my house with their artworks for years to come. A unique place.

    Just received my Kang-hyo Lee teacup. In perfect condition. I’m so happy with it and I think the international service offered by Goldmark is superb. The staff are so kind and extremely efficient and professional.
