Early Life – Taking the Leap of Faith.
The seed, “to create sculptures, sculptures of meaning. Sculptures which speak of our highest aspirations…” grew within Edwards from an early age. However from the age of 7 Edwards knew he would be a sculptor. The young Edwards began to develop and nurture his own humanity through self-expression, via creativity. After that at 16 Edwards was spotted by the renowned G&H studios, with whom he completed a 5 year apprenticeship, of 16th – 18th c. ornamental wood carving.
During this time an instinctive pull grew within; Edwards was drawn away from this exacting discipline, towards expressing himself within the medium of sculpture.
