*Fully Booked* Jonathan Campbell (b. 1969) is a New Zealand sculptor whose practice spans more than three decades of exhibitions, public commissions, and award‑winning work across Aotearoa. A frequent finalist in major national sculpture awards—including the Wallace Art Awards, the Waiheke Small Sculpture Prize, and the Richard T. Nelson Sculpture Awards—he has presented numerous solo shows and contributed to significant outdoor and festival exhibitions. His work ranges from intimate bronzerrotypes to large‑scale public commissions for councils, gardens, and cultural institutions, reflecting a sustained commitment to material experimentation and contemporary sculptural storytelling.

In his upcoming talk, Campbell will share an inside look at the processes, challenges, and craft behind creating bronze sculpture, drawing on stories and techniques from his decades at the furnace.
