I will be taking part in the upcoming digital craft festival event hosted by Sarah James of the Contemporary Craft Festival at Bovey Tracey. A packed weekend full of interactive craft events and the opportunity to buy direct from top designer makers.
I nearly always have a few metal landscapes on display in my studio and these aren't always listed on my website especially if I am working towards a big show! I welcome visitors to my studio by prior appointment.
Visit the archive of my work and see my journey of development of the metal collage technique.
Throughout the summer season you might see me demonstrating blacksmithing at one of Cornwall's many agricultural shows or steam rallies. Co-founder of the Cornish Blacksmiths Collective - I join up with other Cornish smiths to promote and demonstrate the craft of blacksmithing. We encourage both professional and amateur blacksmiths to join our growing group. We also offer a range of blacksmithing courses- contact me for more details.
I am a strong supporter of the 'JUST A CARD' campaign - it aims to encourage people to buy from Designer/Makers and Independent Galleries and Shops by reinforcing the message that all purchases, however small, even 'just a card' are so vital to the prosperity and survival of small businesses.
'And if it won't break finally, when you have hammered on it with stone and then steel, and blasted it and burned it and put it out for the water to erode and the sand blown by the wind to wear away, then you must stand and wait for grace, pure grace, to come along and break it for you. Because it must break.'
