Fire Sculptors:
Philip Bews, Diane Gorvin and Chris Butler

Team ‘Magic House’ comprising of Phil, Diane and Chris of Midas Art were selected for the June 2006 Ischgl Fire Festival in Austria, organised by Gebhard Schatz.

We arrived in a dramatic thunderstorm amongst the beautiful mountains at the lovely Hotel Martha after a long drive in Chris Butler’s car.

We enjoyed the work and making friends with the other teams, from Norway, Sweden, Russia and two teams from Austria.

The fire event was fantastic and the Hausler family, who own the hotel hosted a great party for the artists afterwards.
