Jason Webb

Jason began his love of working with bamboo when making simple kites on a wet holiday in Cornwall over thirty years ago.  His skills developed while studying and making kite designs from the Far East region, and I knew I he was beginning to master my craft when Cambodan and Malaysian makers at a kite festival in France asked who had taught him.

More recently Jason has adapted these skills to develop sail boat sculptures with silk, hessian and paper coverings. With a nod to Hepworth's linear construction string is now incorporated to suggest sail, and experiments with different bamboo species, threads, paper and pigments take his bamboo journey in new directions.
