About me...

My background and influences are broad, encompassing both a very arts based education and a traditional apprentice type training.

I have a Ba Hons in 3D Design from the University of Brighton and have also studied at The Centre For Rural Crafts in Herefordshire.

I was then lucky enough to go to Switzerland and work for Christoph Friedrich at his 'Alte Hammerschmiede' where I gained valuable experience and was able to use his amazing water powered hammers.

Upon my return to England I began a years work at  Burrows Lea Forge in Surrey making high quality traditionally made artistic ironwork, lots of gates and lots of fire welding!

I established my own Forge in 2002 and continue to offer my clients contemporary forgework of the very highest standard.

Blacksmiths are prepared to travel. Although my forge is based in Hurstpierpoint I am willing and often required to make visits around the area. I'm very frequently in the Brighton & Hove area and quite often around Horsham, the Gatwick area, East Grinstead and Tunbridge Wells. Travelling further afield is always a possibility too.
