Fire sets, single fire tools and accessories, including toasting forks and chestnut roasters,from minimalist to fanciful in style.

Careful choice of size and style will provide lifelong service for the largest of inglenooks to compact stoves while enhancing a modern minimalist hearth or a cosy cottage fire place.

Candle holders that look great all the time and when the candles are lit bring an understated, ethereal atmosphere to your living space.

I use hot forging techniques to transform the uniform bars and sheets of steel. Hot forging and sometimes engineering techniques are used to join the components.

These skills have been used for centuries to produce long lasting functional and decorative items from iron and steel. 

Pictured in this gallery are some of those techniques.

I create a range of 'other' items, many of which are great presents to give. The recipient will not already have one!

Vessels offer the opportunity for me to indulge in fanciful forms, heavy texture and colouring of the metal.

Hooks have been made by the local blacksmith for centuries. Today functionality is combined with form that can be whimsical and organic, or stark and clean.
