Richard Shapcott

Richard Shapcott is a sculptor and fabric artist living in Gore's Landing (just south of Peterborough). He started making his clothes 25 years ago and has been a sculptor in wood most of his life and in papier mâché for the last 15 years. The papier mâché creations are varathaned so they are weather resistant and can live outside for a year or two. They have been displayed in a number of Hartley's shows, the walls of Black Honey and the streets of Peterborough, Cobourg and Toronto. He also has created a number of commissions including portraits in papier mâché and a number of fabric art commissions (decorated t-shirts). If you are interested in purchasing a piece or having a portrait/commission contact him at richardshapcott9@gmail.com.
