Artisan Blacksmith
Forged in Barry's Shed
I am an Artisan Blacksmith working with new and recycled materials.
For me working with red hot steel is both mesmerizing and fulfilling.
The hand forged steel showcases an artistry of earlier times.
I am focusing on creating handcrafted pieces that have function and beauty.

Fibre artist - weaving, spinning and quilting.
Working with Fibre has always been part of my life. I ventured into weaving five years ago after buying an old NZ made loom from a Salvation Army store.
Colour and texture excite me. I also enjoy exploring both simple and complex weave structures.
I support the NZ wool industry buying both yarn and fleece which I then dye, spin and weave on my various of looms".
