PERSONAL STRUCTURES

The Old Fire Station collective is a group of sculptors, ceramicists, and printmakers based in Port Sunlight (Wirral, UK), a model village founded in 1888 that stands as one of the finest examples of the Arts and Craft Movement in the UK. The collective was formed by sculptor Emma Rodgers in 2024 and now includes six other artists, Johnny Vegas, Peter Hayes, Simone Schofield, Lonn Landis, Sophie Anna Green, and Max Eugeni. Whilst they work across a variety of mediums the artists are connected by a deep interest in materiality, place, and form, creating a synergy across their works that aims to push ideas beyond each singular practice. The collective exists as a space to explore how ideas can develop, combine, and evolve through the intertwining of skills and experiences, whether this be through conversation, curation, or group multidisciplinary works.
