About Me:
 
I'm a Classically trained artist metalworker. My initial training was as a Goldsmith in the European tradition. I served a 5 year apprenticeship and subsequently travelled to Japan to research the Japanese decorative metal working tradition associated with the Japanese Sword. I now work almost exclusively out of my adopted tradition.
Country:
South Africa

Dave Bull in Japan, a woodblock print artist recommended your video and site and I can only thank him for this. The "Utsuchi" video is inspirational and am in awe at your skills. Will keep a close eye on your new projects. In the meantime, congratulations from France
