Sculptural and functional objects in hot forged steel and bronze
The ability to translate experiences and surroundings into art using innate and acquired skills to create it.
Andrew Findlay Artist Blacksmith
I try to create sculptural and functional objects in metals, that evoke the emotions associated with our childhood fascination with nature, using the immediacy of the forging process to freeze a moment in time.
I am also running one to one courses where participants can create a piece in my typically organic style of forging.
I am a self-taught artist blacksmith with 40 years experience.
I have been a Director of the Model House Arts and Crafts Centre in Llantrisant, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales
I have taught Blacksmithing at Herefordshire College, Holme Lacy, Herefordshire
I have demonstrated bronze forging techniques as Artist in Residence at the Metal Museum, Memphis Tennessee
I have undertaken a short course in bronze forging for the British Artist Blacksmiths Association.
I am a member of the Herefordshire Guild of Craftsmen
