Glynde Forge, September 2018.
Last September I spent an afternoon in Thomas Gontar’s workshop at Glynde Forge. Fire, smoke and steam, the clanging of the hammer on the anvil, tools, patterns and piles of metal make activity at the forge a wonderfully atmospheric subject.

Holmfirth Artweek
Yorkshire, July 2013
Tim Copsey and Vanda Battye invited me to take part in the inaugural exhibition at EmptySpace, a converted barn in the village of Holme, West Yorkshire. The show was part of the Holmfirth Artweek Fringe. The other exhibitors at EmptySpace were Tim Copsey, Richard Fitton, Lucy Newman and Dave Tebbs.
During the show I went on walks in the locality making drawings of the landscape and places I visited. Back at the barn I pinned the drawings on the wall in sequence, building up a record of the weeks work.
