A drovers tableau destined to form the centrepiece of the St Catherine’s development, in Carmarthen, is taking shape at a Newcastle Emlyn studio.

Vulnerable adults are helping to create the tableau of a drover and his sheepdog herding a sheep and a goose.

It has been chosen to fit with the history of the area of the former livestock mart.

The drover and dog will be made of stainless steel and the sheep and goose made of stainless steel with brass highlights.

The designs have been commissioned by the developers Simons Developments.

The figures are being produced by local artist Tony Woodman.

He is being helped by people who attend the Carmarthenshire adult placement scheme, which offers long-term or respite care to families of people with learning disabilities.

Mr Woodman said: “They are really enjoying the work and I am enjoying working with them.

“The drover and the sheep are completed and are looking good.”
