squid mirror

Hello,I'm mark from the south coast of England, and as such seem to be awake when everyone else is asleep! I have been a professional smith for about 15 years. I hope that eventually insomnia will allow me to talk to someone, but until then I will just leave it that I have seen some great pieces and hope you like mine.
Cheers,
Mark

Great work

Hey Mark,

Nice mirror and balcony railing, and index page on your website, I didn't get further than that so far.  Looks like you have done wide range ofwork.   Look forward to seeing more of your stuff here.  I grew up near Southampton, left England in 99 for a 'year out' and met my husband here in North Carolina, USA, so here I am.  If you get to the BABA conference this year you'll have to give us the run down.  I was hoping to time a visit home around it but didn't work out, had even booked the tickets, grrrr.

Truth to tell it was up at the fire and iron gallery, Leatherhead. Once it's time was up it went to live in a friends bathroom!
It's not on my website as i am still getting images put on.My Dad kindly does it for me, and I have been less than on the ball getting stuff to him.

Hi Mark, welcome to the

Hi Mark,
welcome to the artmetal community. It's good to have you with us. Really enjoyed seeing some of your work and your site. Noticed that your just down the road from Guildford. Do you know Andy and Robert at Utopia Forge? I've had the pleasure of meeting and working with them when they spent some time in the states. Great guys.
Bill

welcome

Thanks for the warm one. I must admit that i don't get out much these days. Most of my meet and greet takes place at the South of England Show in July. If you are ever around try and get to it. They have a site www.south of englandblacksmiths.org . It's heavily involved with the worshipful company, and Mike Denilow puts on a show and stand which improves year after year.
