Matt Buckley started off his sculpting career over 20 years ago having been afforded the opportunity to hone his craft by following in the footsteps of his step father, Robert Harrop, by working on the ‘Country Companions’ and later named ‘Doggie People’ range which have resided successfully to this day within the ‘giftware’ and ‘collectible’ industry for well over 25 years themselves.

Licensed figurines that Matt has both sculpted personally and directed include the Beano and Dandy, Camberwick Green, Roald Dahl, Bagpuss, 2000 AD, The Magic Roundabout, Mr Benn and Gerry Anderson’s Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Stingray, with many pieces being continually produced to this date.

Matt remains the Creative Director of Robert Harrop Designs LTD and indeed the skills and ability to manufacture quality figurines from within their family run company in Shropshire has enabled this very new collection of work to become a reality and Edge Sculpture to thrive.

This is a very new collection and very much at the beginning of its creative evolution and Matt indeed looks forward to designing, sculpting and producing many new concepts well into the future.

If I had the wings of an eagle over the mountains I would soar If I had the eyes of an eagle I would watch the valley floor

If I could borrow cupids bow and arrows I would capture your heart with arrows made with flowers

On the eagle’s wings with you I would fly And show you the world from an eagle’s eye

To watch the moon and stars in the silence of the night We would seal our love for each other in dawns early light

If I were an eagle my wings I would spread We hear each other when there’s no words said

If I were an eagle on the currents of the wayward wind we would fly Like a cloud without care we would float in the sky
