Laury's studio as artist-in-residence under the patronage of Her Grace, the Duchess of Rutlan, is set up in the Old Hunt Stables on Belvoir Road (next to Sedgebrook & main crossroads in Woolsthorpe-by-Belvoir), just below and in view of Belvoir Castle. Her focus is on developing an arts programme to benefit the local community, on creating a rural sculpture trail using sustainable materials called the Belvoir "3Rs - Reclaimed, Recycled, Raw" Sculpture Trail, and on creating bronze busts for the Manners family.  "Musings on sustainable sculpture design and a desire to help establish more sculpture trails and parks were two factors in deciding to collaborate with the Duchess of Rutland as her artist-in-residence. Besides giving me the fantastic opportunity to create a sculpture trail in the Vale of Belvoir, she has also asked me to create busts of her kids, which is wonderful as I am going to contribute contemporary stuff (timeless bronze busts) to Belvoir's collection of art!" Background: In September 2010, Laury moved back to England to set up a new sculpture studio in a rural community in the Vale of Belvoir where the ancient seat of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland is located (in the Lincolnshire / Leicestershire border area of the East Midlands).  A close-up on Belvoir Castle, home of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland under whose auspices Laury Dizengremel is artist-in-residence at the nearby Old Masters House. That house is a portion of what is known as the Old Hunt Stables block, on Belvoir Road, in Woolsthorpe-by-Belvoir, near Grantham in Lincolnshire, a stone's throw from the Leicestershire border and the nearby town of Melton Mowbray.  15th century sculptures by Caius
Cibber, moved by Violet,
wife of the 8th Duke who created the formal
scheme
we see today in the Gardens at Belvoir Castle.
