I have been blacksmithing for over 15 years, having learnt while working with other blacksmiths in London and Kent. At first I produced traditional forgework, gates, railings, weathervanes and architectural metalwork, which I still produce at Mill Forge near Nantwich in Cheshire, UK though my designs have become more sculptural and use new as well as traditional methods.
I began making sculpture following a trip to Italy to visit a group of artists and sculptors. During my studies in London I attended the Slade School of Art, I trained in life drawing. This influenced my metalwork inspiring me to create unique sculptures, going against the trend of the time for abstract sculpture. I have always preferred to make figurative work. Though not usually literal in subject, my pieces often echo classical sculpture with a modern, sometimes humourous flavour. I regularly work with garden designers to create spectacular features that can be integrated into the setting. I can provide detailed sketches and scale drawings for clients and together with a team of installers I can assist in siting and installing work. My work in gardens is often a cross between sculptural and practical. Though there are often areas of a garden design that lend themselves to pure sculpture I believe that decorative handrails, arches, gates and trellises can also be sculptural. Please take a look at my Gardens Gallery to see examples of my work in situ.Exhibitions and Events  Please also view my other two websites www.millforge.org.uk and www.ironanniversary.co.uk
