In 2010 I was lucky enough to be featured on Kirstie Allsopp’s Homemade Home (S.2 E.6) & it turns out it’s still doing the rounds. Just completed a mirror for a lovely customer who found me after discovering my 15 minutes of fame online! #kirstieallsopp #heritagecraft #coppersmithing #hare #hedgehog

Funny how things from the past occasionally come back into view (before vanishing again into the ether). I’ve just restored this Sam Fanaroff bowl, made shortly before my apprenticeship at Glynleigh Studios. It’s always nice to see an old friend.

Artemis II reminds what’s possible when we work together and put our minds to it. Despite all of our challenges, it’s photos like this that give us hope for the future.

To the right of this picture are fossil iguanodon teeth found at Old Roar quarry by #Bexhill Museum curator Henry Sargent in around 1916.
There are seven pieces varying in size from penny coin size to Dracula fang size! On the left of them is a replica of the fossil iguanodon tooth found in 1822. They are all displayed on a glass shelf in a display cabinet.

It’s good to be back in the workshop after my studies. I’ve made mirrors for all my grandchildren - the motifs I choose tell the child’s story. This mirror has just been delivered. (The button came from a uniform worn by my beloved grandfather, after whom the youngest grandchild was named.)

At an airport I once saw a bunch of transcendentalists boarding a flight they’d chartered. At least I assumed they were transcendentalists because they were on a hire plane thank you please enjoy the weekend ahead.
