One of the things which inspire my work is RUST! I thought I would share a few images & also mention a new studio on the horizon.

With our move across St Ives to Ponckle's gallery we wanted to share our collection & a brief history of her interesting life with cats of course!

My latest work 'Metallic texture' is a combination of unique copper & brass designs. Each individual cut out piece has a one-off surface. Inspired by Barbara Hepworth & Troika pottery the framed assemblages have a 'retro' feel.

Spring has most definitely sprung here in St Ives with some warm sunny days & the sea thrift starting to bloom.

Time for a little catch up after a full on summer in St Ives! Hopefully time to create again over the next few weeks so the website can be restocked with work...

On 12th April we opened the doors to our new gallery space in St Ives. An exciting new start in a lovely light airy space to display our metalwork, jewellery & artwork on Island Square.
