WORK

​PROCESS

 I have been making things since I was given Meccano as a child. I was one of those typical boys who took stuff apart and then put most of it back together . I have improved over time and can now fit, adapt and repair most things. When I left school I became an antiquarian bookseller and learned bookbinding and printmaking techniques. When that came to an end I took Carpentry and Joinery City&Guilds  and I have been a Carpenter for over 25 years .Although wood is my preferred material to work with over the last couple of years I have started learning about other media whilst studying Prop-making at Northbrook College in West Sussex.  I have learned to work various metals including welding steel, casting Pewter and Aluminium, Brass work and etching. I have done some casting in resin, plaster , silicone and latex. I have gained some knowledge of theatre set building, which dovetails with my existing  experience in exhibition design,  shopfitting and commercial staging.​

    I've worked all over Europe and the Far East and have done a good range of odd jobs. These include, but aren't limited to, cheffing, journalism, tour guidery and architectural vandalism. Whatever you need making, it is likely I can come up with a practical solution.
