degree show models: the old boys

the craftsmen..

as i draw to the end of my third year i have come to the realisation that all my work is unified in one term: tradition. this sudden thought came while i was forging some wrought iron pieces. Ive always used traditional methods within my work and have a held a certain high regard for others who do also. my current project has evolved and changed so much since the wee gnome people of green hollow, now it has become more of a generic collection of all things associated with 'folk'. here are the finishing pieces I'm going to create models of for my show i hope you enjoy them as much as i have creating them :)
