Sylter giants, ongoing series 10 cm, individual figures

For this year's 23rd anniversary, we made the entire green Sylter Giant family as miniatures approx. 10 cm high. The base is the wooden collecting plate. The individual figures with bases can be inserted into the round recesses. The giantess makes an exception: It can stand stably without a base. The Sylt giant girl, the giant boy and the Sylt giant man are placed on a round base. Without the base you would fall over ;-). The Sylt Giant Family: the “Traveling Giants in the Wind”, a wonderful gift and souvenir for Sylt lovers.

History of the Sylt Giants:

The sculpture group “Traveling Giants in the Wind” by the Kiel sculptor Martin Wolke has stood in front of the Westerländer train station on Sylt for twenty-three years. The giant family, consisting of mother, father and two children, welcomes the arriving travelers - five meters high, bright green and an integral part of the cityscape. To mark this milestone anniversary, we are releasing an exclusive artist edition of the figures in miniature format! All copies are signed by the artist.

Info about the base:

If you already own a giantess without a base, you can order it here on its own. The giantess is simply placed on the base to complete the appearance. The other figures are firmly attached to the base, otherwise they would fall over. You can find the whole set with base plate here.

Material info:

Material approx. 10 cm: painted tin cast, continuous series production.

All work steps from casting to painting take place in our studio; Sylt Giants: the “Traveling Giants in the Wind”, a wonderful gift and souvenir for Sylt lovers.

Customer testimonials:

“It is a memory for our life together. These giants mean so much to us. They accompany us and our regular trips to Sylt. It's an honor to be able to give a miniature original by the artist himself to my loved ones for Christmas. I'm very glad about that. 2001-2020...Wow, they've been there for 19 years?", an enthusiastic Steffi writes on the online order page of the sculptor Martin Wolke, after holding the Sylt giantess in miniature in her hands.

“So magically made and really elegant in terms of material and signature! An absolute must as a Sylt fan for over 20 years! Delivery was quick and packaging was secure. Really worth it for the price and great!! I would like to have the two children and the lantern - but unfortunately it can't be ordered...which is a shame" (... but now the time has come! Editor's note :-)

Press:

"In 2001, the Kiel sculptor created the "Travelling Giants in the Wind" for the forecourt of the Westerland train station. A work of art that is as controversial as it is popular. A very monumental and eye-catching one.
One that amuses and excites some, but also annoys others. However, Martin Wolke always had the impression “that there are many people from Sylt and guests who are attracted to the giants and feel amused”. This motivated him to create an artist's edition that includes the giantess in miniature. Available in three sizes: 10cm and 18cm and 30cm in height. "Despite its small size, it makes a big impression," says Martin Wolke." (Sylt Magazin 2021/22).
