In the Forge...

In 2010 my studio was a derelict building. Over the last nine years I have slowly renovated it, laying floors, cleaning and insulating the interior to provide myself with a (nearly!) comfortable workspace. As my needs as an artist have changed, and following the evolution of my work  from Blacksmith to Artist, the forge interior has also had to evolve and adapt. 2018 saw me building a partition wall to divide my workspace– half metalworking shop for the early stages of picture making – and half exhibition and studio space so as to have metal landscapes permanently on display as well as works in progress. Visitors to my studio are very welcome by prior arrangement.

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. 

'I am leaning on the gate, and suddenly it is as though I had all day to do that and nothing else, or anything else, to stare at butterflies, at clouds. But it is not so, it is the attitude of leaning on the gate, familiar and easy, that induces the idle mood, looking out upon the passing world.'
