Ward wants to tell stories with his work and he does this through combining his solid grounding in craftsmanship with contemporary design.
Inspired by traditional artisanal methods, his work demonstrates how materials, and the way in which they are processed, influences the final design.
He looks at ancient craft techniques from a fresh, new perspective.
We are curious makers of things, things we dream up ourselves. Remarkable, useful, beautiful and original things. Sometimes they are made entirely by hand, sometimes partly by machine, in the future perhaps by robots. May be not robots. Always with an eye for detail and with an element of fun.
If you care to follow this blog and join our journey, we’ll share our successes and (occasional) failures with you and hopefully you’ll become a frequent visitor. Suppose that depends on us keeping you entertained. So let’s get on with the words and pictures.
