We owe a huge thank you to the Foundries we worked with to turn our and our artists visions into reality - Castle Fine Art Foundry and Sculpture Services  .

And extra special thanks go to Studio Response.   Studio Response was appointed by Monumental Welsh Women to lead the arts commissioning programme of the project.  Co‑Directors Jo Breckon and Emma Price have been central to the campaign, shaping artist briefs, project plans and a commissioning process that reflects the ambition of both the group and its supporters. Acting as a bridge between the campaign and the appointed sculptors, they have guided each artist through the design process to ensure the final works capture the spirit, story and significance of each woman. Their contribution has helped deliver a series of powerful, contemporary public artworks that celebrate Welsh women and reshape who is visible in our shared public spaces.  We can't thank you enough.
