Classics and Careers Season 3, Episode 8: Eleanor Crook, Sculptor

That’s right, we couldn’t conclude Season 3 without a bonus episode! It was a privilege to speak to eminent sculptor Eleanor Crook about her Classics degree, a life-changing experience at Hadrian’s Wall, forging an unconventional career, immortalising the Queen’s Lying in State, and backwards engineering the Riace Bronzes.
