Clinker Boat Bench

If you're walking by the Hamble fore shore you could do worse than pause and rest a while, take in the view of the boats and admire the new seating which has been installed.

Entitled "Clinker Boat Bench" by artist Tim Norris who specialises in large-scale outdoor Sculptural works, his work draws inspiration from the surrounding landscape and where possible uses indigenous natural materials.

Earlier in the year we were passing while Tim was working and stopped for a brief chat, taking his inspiration from traditional clinker work boats he's produced a terrific and practical piece of art.
