Magic Horse by Heather Jansch
One of Jansch’s horses inspired by Tang Dynasty sculptures, the “Magic Horse” is one of the earliest bronzes to come from the Sedgewell Coach House studio. The plaster original is pictured here, but in an exciting development, we can confirm that the moulds for the bronze (which had long been thought lost), have recently been found at Heather’s foundry.
We are still tracking down the mould records, and so the numbered edition remains paused, however, we can now offer an artist’s copy of the bronze. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you would like to know more about the bronze and would like to dicuss commissioning a cast.
The plaster of the Magic Horse will be available to view in upcoming exhibitions.
Other sculptures in the series include: Jeunesse, Cicero and Chinoise

Other sculpture by Heather Jansch
This piece forms part of Heather Jansch’s series of sculptures inspired by Tang Dynasty imagery, but other examples of her work include her enduringly popular life-size foals, such as Clover and most famously, her life-size horses, best illustrated by The Eden Horse. Heather also made smaller work for interiors, an example being the magnificent Etalon, which regarded by many as her very finest work. In a departure from her usual practice, Heather also produced a series of dancers and warrior women.
We are following an active programme of casting from Heather’s moulds to finish the editions she began and so Heather’s work continues to be exhibited on a regular basis, and can be seen at The Diehl Gallery in Jackson, WY, and Sculpture by the Lakes in Dorset, UK. As a result, many of her sculptures remain available for purchase.
