Alan Ward has engraved the names of the Czar and Swan’s Egg fruit sculptures on the two plinths.

There had been some discussion whether the engraving would be performed at Alan’s studio in Lancaster Castle or in The Tasting Garden after the plinths had been installed.

In the end, Alan did the engraving outside his studio. The next stage will be to install the plinths in the garden.

Chris Wright was on hand to record Alan in action. See the photos below.
