LE BLANC FINE ART
Set within old farm buildings in a quiet corner of Leicestershire, Le Blanc Fine Art brings together the sculptural work of Judith Holmes Drewry and Lloyd Le Blanc, whose bronze pieces are held in private, corporate and public collections around the world. Working from their own foundry built more than fifty years ago, the studio has remained deeply rooted in the traditions of British sculpture, producing small limited editions that carry a strong sense of hand and place.
Their work reflects a lifelong commitment to form, movement and material, shaped through decades of casting and experimentation within the workshop they created together. The next generation of family and craftspeople who have been with the family for decades, continue their work to keep the foundry and the Le Blanc legacy alive.

IMOGEN OWEN
Imogen Owen creates calligraphy and lettering work that feels both timeless and personal, marrying traditional hand-lettered techniques with a contemporary graphic sensibility. Working from her studio, she explores the expressive potential of pen, ink and form — crafting bespoke pieces, typographic artwork, and elegant script that bring thoughtfulness and personality to every commission.
Her practice is guided by an appreciation for the rhythm and nuance of hand-drawn letterforms, whether interpreting a client’s brief or developing her own series of creative work. The result is work that feels intimate, beautifully made and deeply attentive to the language it conveys.
