Craft Metalwork is the term I prefer to use when describing my work. So I suppose Craft Metalworker is what I should be described as.
I acquired my skills as an apprentice mechanical fitter and honed them over 26 years in engineering. With the encouragement and support of family and friends I have taken what was a hobby a step further.
The metals I work with are mainly silver, copper, gold, brass, steel and pewter. Techniques employed include those of the jeweller, silversmith and engineer.
Watersongs allows me to display a variety of work produced over many years using a variety of metalworking techniques.
