Trevor Heighway - sculptor & carver

...................................................

Trevor Heighway has been a carver/sculptor for 20 years, carving bone and ivories, mainly NZ Wild Ivory Pig Tusk, Whalebone and Teeth.

He uses only handtools, small chisels, scrapers and needle files and can carve just about anything but has a natural bent towards realistic representation. Trevor carves hunters trophys, horn, tusk, teeth, gun stocks and knife handles, for wearing or ornamental display.

Some of Trevor's work is featured in the book "Stone Bone and Jade" by Don Salt.

Carving with bone led on to sculpting in stone, finding a natural ability to create a wide range of forms, in 3D or 2D relief pictures in stone. Trevor works with Pam Griffin/artist/partner for many designs and commissioned work.
