Otter name: Jeff
Artist: Buckingham Primary School, Clare Tebboth
Sponsor: Heritage & Sons Buckingham (CPJ Field)
Buckingham Primary School: “Our design was inspired by the natural world around Buckingham and wanted to reflect the animals, birds and insects we have seen on our many walks during lockdown. The design incorporates lots of ideas taken from the year 6 children and discussions we had around the theme. We liked the idea that you could find lots of different creatures hidden around the sculpture and hoped that it would appeal to both young and old, counting the insects, finding the toad or even the hedgehog! We named him Jeff – not entirely sure how that happened – he’s enjoying being in our school reception at the moment welcoming visitors!
Claire Tebboth: “I’m a primary school teacher at Buckingham Primary school specialising in art. When not at school I am also an artist exhibiting my work in galleries working in predominantly oils and watercolours. I also teach adults art at Vitreus Art Gallery, Towcester. I have been chair for many years of Buckingham Art for All – a popular local community art group.”
