Katherine Worthington

Stone Carver & Sculptor

King George II statue

2013 - Covent Garden, Golden Square, London, W1, UK.

Katherine repaired the statue with a new forearm and hand in Portland stone. It was damaged during World War II and replaced in the 1950's. English Heritage were not happy with the 50's restoration and ordered a new replacement. The nose was also recarved and Katherine had to get the right balance installing a new nose on a very weathered head.

To help her with the carving she made a clay model and plaster waste mould.
