Job Titles:
- Head of Discovery & Learning, the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, Edinburgh
"I was delighted to be able to commission Robin on three different occasions to create animal sculptures for RZSS Edinburgh Zoo. For each piece he took the brief, and appropriate reference material, and produced what we required on time and budget. It was great that during the creation we could see photos of stages of work and also visit to see it, and so Robin could check that the work was what we wanted.
The large sculptures of penguin and chicks, tiger, and giant panda are great unique pieces of wooden art that are hands-on and appreciated and photographed by hundreds of thousands of people visiting Edinburgh Zoo. They are robust and have weathered well. Robin is not only a talented sculptor and creator but has a passion for his work, the environment and engaging children and his ethos fitted well with our conservation and environmental mission and passion for educating all ages through diverse types of interpretation and design. I am happy to recommend Robin and WildChild Designs".
