Steve Hurst

Steve Hurst is a British sculptor, author and teacher. He was born in Cairo in 1932, where his father, Harold Hurst, worked as a hydrologist for the Egyptian Government. The family were evacuated to the UK when the war started in 1939 and settled in the Oxfordshire village of Sandford-on-Thames.

Hurst initially studied art at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, Oxford University between 1949 and 1953, before going on to serve in Malaya in 1954-55 during the Emergency as a national serviceman. After a period working as a technical draftsman for the Admiralty in Portsmouth he resumed his art training at Goldsmiths College between 1959-60, later studying casting at the Royal College of Art.

In 1971, Hurst was invited by George Fullard to run the sculpture foundry at Chelsea School of Art and went on, in 1979, to become Head of the Sculpture department at Ulster University in Belfast.
