Robert James
Workshop Gallery
Thrilling news afoot regarding our new gallery which will open its doors to the public in the coming weeks – a unique, by-appointment-only chance to see our stunning garden sculptures up close and meet the makers behind each literary bronze creation.
“My dear, here we must run as fast as we can, just to stay in place. And if you wish to go anywhere you must run twice as fast as that!”
See our bronze sculptures up close
In the coming weeks, Robert James Workshop will be taking bookings to view our new gallery here in Somerset. As well as a unique opportunity to see and experience our bronze sculpture range in person – from Alice in Wonderland and Peter Rabbit to Winnie the Pooh and Peter Pan – you’ll also have the chance to meet the creative forces behind each piece.
More details will be revealed next month, including opening times and information about bookings and commissions.
WHERE TO FIND US
Forde Abbey and Gardens
We’re delighted to be working again with Forde Abbey as part of their new restaurant venture. Just in time for its March opening, a stunning collection of our bronze sculptures has been installed in the courtyard.
The gardens look positively spectacular in the slow build-up to spring, thanks to the team at Forde Abbey, and we’d very much recommend a visit to the historic grounds for a memorable day out in the Somerset countryside.
While only a handful of bronze creations can be found in the courtyard at present – all from the Alice in Wonderland collection – we shall be adding new editions throughout the year.
WHERE TO FIND US
RHS Chelsea Flower Show
A date for your diary! From the 21st to the 24th of May, Robert James Workshop will be making its annual voyage to the biggest horticultural event on earth: RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
There will almost certainly be some exciting new editions to introduce to the Chelsea crowds, including our latest project that captures the work of Judith Kerr and her beloved books, The Tiger Who Came to Tea and Mog the Forgetful Cat – plus some new characters from the A.A. Milne sculpture range. We hope to see you there!
WHERE TO FIND US
Through the Looking Glass Exhibition at the O Museum in Washington, D.C.

Delve deep into the imaginations of beloved authors Lewis Carroll, Beatrix Potter, A.A. Milne, and Edward Lear – with each lovingly handcrafted creation captured in stunning bronze. The exhibit includes a tour of the museum’s 100+ room mansion, on which you can search for 80 secret doors!
Alongside the cast of classic literary characters, you’ll also find a series of limited edition James Coplestone coloured illustrations of The Barefoot King, each of which are available for purchase.
