In addition to religious commissions, Roper created a wide variety of sculptures which were sold privately and to corporate bodies. These included including nudes, bulls and birds, as well as animated sculpture, such as musical fountains and water clocks. Roper was also a potter and a calligrapher. BiographyFrank Roper was born 12 December 1914 in Haworth, Yorkshire. He studied at Keighley Art School (meeting his future wife, Nora Ellison) and the Royal College of Art, London, where he was a student of Henry Moore.[1][2] In 1947 he became a sculpture lecturer at Cardiff College of Art,[3] later vice principal, remaining there until he retired in 1973. He lived in Penarth and created his own foundry on the ground floor of his house where he made his metal sculptures.[1] Roper is credited with inventing the lost-polystyrene casting process.[4] Many of Roper's early commissions stemmed from the need to repair places of worship after they had suffered bomb damage during World War II. His major commissions included work on Llandaff Cathedral,[1] Durham Cathedral, St David's Cathedral, Pembrokeshire and Peterborough Cathedral. He created a wall-mounted "Stations of the Cross" (1959) for St Martin's in Roath, "Crucifixion with Mary and John" (1965) outside St German's Church, Adamsdown, Cardiff and an aluminium reredos screen (1968) for St Martin le Grand, York.[1][5][6] Roper also created engraved and stained glass, for example at St Peter's Church, Chippenham.[7] Two BBC television programmes were made about Roper, one in 1964 ("Mind into Metal – Frank Roper, Sculptor)[4] and the other in 1976 ("Look, Stranger: Sculpture and Singing Fountains).[8][9] Examples of his secular work can be found in the collections of the National Museum Cardiff and the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth.[10] Roper was awarded the MBE in 1991[11] for his services to art. He died at the end of 2000.[1] In 2014 an exhibition marking the centenary year of his birth was held at the Travellers Gallery, Barry.[3] A memorial service at Llandaff Cathedral was planned for the centenary date, 12 December 2014.[10] Notable works{{expand list|date=December 2014}}{{commons category|Frank Roper}}Ecclesiastical sculpture
