MATERIAL WORLD

I am a sole practitioner and multi-disciplinary technician. With a background in scenery construction for film and theatre, SFX, prop making, Fine art sculpture, set building for events and branding sectors.

​

I work mainly with metalwork and joinery/carpentry. 

​

Metal-work

​

I have MIG and TIG welding qualifications, experience, capabilities and facilities for forging metal. I can create large structural work or small forged wrought steel work, aluminium frames and any other metal work requiring these processes or the list of metals appropriate.  

Carpentry

​

I am a self taught carpenter with bench joinery skills and produce work to a high finish in the same sectors as above. I do bespoke domestic installations of cabinetry/kitchens storage etc and most traditional carpentry work. I learned the trade on the job working in 1st and second fix carpentry, scenic construction on-site and in the workshop mostly between cups of tea...

​

Ceramics and Mould-Making 

​

I am currently studying Ceramics and in the process of setting up a studio pottery based part of my practice creating tableware, pots and sculptural vessels using hand-building techniques and throwing shapes on the wheel.

​

​

I have some experience of mould-making with silicone and plaster moulds to be cast in modern and traditional materials such as Jesmonite, wax, concrete and other applicable mediums.

although this is not my specialism i really enjoy the process and can function as part of a team on larger more complex work or independently with small reproductions.

My philosophy is diversity of materiality to produce the highest standard of work and to create innovation in everything i do.

​

I also really love plants and ecology and try to have a sustainable practice wherever possible.
