Artist Statement
Traditional rocking horse maker and restorer. Rix & Co. was founded in 2015 by Pete Rix. Pete has a commercial background in design and has been carving since the age of 14. Over the years Pete has developed his skills of sculpture and traditional woodcarving and in doing so has developed a true passion for these wonderful and timeless toys.
The preservation and development of traditional craftsmanship is something close to Pete's heart, and maintaining the craft of the Rocking Horse maker is something he feels honoured to be a part of.
Wood carving workshops are available from our Sudbury courtyard workshop, so if you have fancied making a rocking horse or giving wood carving a go then Pete would be happy to help show you this wonderful heritage craft. https://www.rockinghorsemakers.com/shop
