New Designs 2026

 Hello 2026,

I love this time of year. 

I know it's darker; colder; wetter and windier, but that means we've got everything still to come. The days are getting longer, lighter, warmer, dryer and calmer. Plus, new artwork!

So, what am I going to make?

There are a few contenders I am currently looking at...

This year I want to return to a much loved bird within my collection, the wren. I first created this one in 2022, so 4 years ago. It has evolved a lot since then, but I want to re-approach it with fresh eyes. Eyes that have studied longer now and want to get deeper to the essence of wren.

Every year the gardens open and want new work for there visitors. Who doesn't like seeing new things?

*(Premium Cutlery) The cutlery I use to make my sculptures is 'second-hand' which I collect from charity shops. Both price options can go outdoors, and both will stain in places over time. The individual quality of each piece of cutlery I use will determine how quickly this happens. The difference between the standard cutlery and the 'premium' are the markings and characteristics that identify it as having 'nickel' in it. 18chromium/8nickel, 18chromium/10nickel or is non-magnetic which is a characteristic of the presence of nickel, these markings and characteristics are an indication it has more corrosive resistance and will therefore happen at a slower rate. Staining can be cleaned off with a stainless steel cleaner, like a bathroom cleaner used on taps ect. for example 'ciff'. It can also be sprayed with WD40 or Vaseline, which would also give it some extra resistance to the weather protection.



Open Day - Saturday 22nd November 10-4

Hello,

The Open Day on 'Saturday 22nd November 2025 10-4 at the new workshop went really well!

Unit 3, Danny's Court, Odham's Wharf, Ebford. EX3 0PB.

It has been a busy 7 weeks, but very enjoyable. With lots of great companionship as I downed tools and moved workshop. I've used a lot of wood-working tools and retrofitted this new space, so it is ready for metal working.

I have updated Google and awaiting the system to change the address to the one above.
