Fife sculptor David Mach chats to Auchmuty high pupils

Fife sculptor David Mach was in Glenrothes last Thursday (21 March) speaking to pupils at Auchmuty High School about his work.

David grew up in Fife, going on to study at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee and the Royal College of Art in London. His sculptures are created using materials not always associated with art, such as coat hangers, pins and matches and have been exhibited around the world.

Ninety pupils heard David talk about how the industrial surroundings of his childhood home in Methil inspired him to create huge-scale sculptures and how his creative process has developed over the years, taking him to countries all over the world.

Pupils also received copies of David's books which he signed afterwards.
