I specialise  in repoussé metalwork.
  
It involves punching, sculpting and chasing a blank sheet of metal into a recognisable form in relief. 

It is a skilled technique that dates from Mycenaean times.  The metal is worked inside out and in reverse.

The art of repoussé is a struggle against metal, pushing it to the limits of its malleability. One slip and the metal will split.

These days, it is an endangered craft with few practitioners. 

I hope my work will help to revive it.
