Testimonials

Sustainably sourced, reclaimed materials

Every single piece of metal used in D'Sculpted sculptures is sourced from local businesses and occasionally customers. All the metal used has had a previous life as another product. Whether it's a decommissioned fire extinguisher, industrial glue canister or steel toe cap from an old safety boot, Darren will find a way to use it.

"We were drawn to look closely at all the fantastic exhibits by Darren of D'Sculpted. Such a clever use of recycled material to house nature itself." Chris + Julia Newman

"We were absolutely awestruck when we finally met up with our sculpture in real life. Nellie the Elephant is a wondrous object of metal that melted our hearts." Connie Gibbons
