Local artist Yvonne George has contributed<br />
some of the city’s best-loved sculptures.<br />
Yvonne says the Bath Lane’s over-sized film<br />
reel, and the gates she made for nearby<br />
Chancery Lane, have been her best-loved<br />
commissions. “But I’m still waiting to do a<br />
sculpture that I would class as my favourite,”<br />
she says.<br />
Chancery Lane’s Gaudi-inspired black steel<br />
gates are a fitting welcome to this creative<br />
strip of boutiques, cafes, and street art on<br />
old brick walls.<br />
They were made at Yvonne’s studio at the<br />
<strong>Bendigo</strong> Pottery. Eight other artists also work<br />
there in quirky pottery outbuildings.<br />
“We have a great group who support each<br />
other,” she says, adding visitors are more<br />
than welcome to meet them at work.<br />
