Barrie Gittens - Creator of our Vast 'Fiesta Studio Collection'. Highly detailed animals with Character.
Barrie began his early career twenty-five years ago when he graduated
from Britain’s Bournville Art College. After working for many years
within Worcester’s famous ceramic and resin giftware industry, he was
anxious to explore and develop his own ideas. He finally realized his
dream in 1993 when the opportunity to start up his own company arose.
He named it "Bowbrook Studios" after the Bowbrook stream, which runs
alongside the studio grounds. In 1998, Heritage Artist bought the right
to manufacture and distribute some of Gittens work. This newborn
partnership made way for an innovative collection of songbirds, farm
animals, roosters and hens. These pieces, incorporating exciting
mixed-media materials, are winning over new collectors.
A keen
sculptor, Gittens enjoys working alongside his creative team when
developing new concepts and ideas for his expanding line. His
sculptures vivid colours and incredible detail make for life-like
reality and contribute to the line’s growing success around the world
