I help to keep the 175-year-old ship Brunel’s SS Great

Britain safe, by stopping the metal structure from rusting.

This is done by keeping the air around the ship as dry as

a desert. There are computer-controlled dehumidifying

machines which blow dried air around the ship, with lots

of sensors all controlled by code and using as little

energy as possible.

I work on commissions introducing sculpture into the

environment, built and natural. The works are in relief on

buildings or three dimensions. I usually work in Brick or

common construction materials. The works reflect the

history, context or aspirations of a place or community.

My workplace is full of clay, pigments, tools, bricks,

plaster and wood.Creativity .............................. 96Communication ..................... 51Collaboration ........................ 43Digital knowledge ................ 83Hands-on practical skills ... 96Reading and writing ............ 49Sustainability knowledge .. 51Using numbers ..................... 71

I create, invent and make artwork for museums and

exhibitions around the world. I collaborate with

fabricators including glass blowers. The different skills

and languages of crafts people enable me to create what

is in my imagination. I had a place to study engineering at

University but switched to art.

I make wooden masts and ‘spars’ for boats. ‘Spars’ is the

word for all poles and masts above the deck. They pull up

and hold sails and have names like booms, spinnaker poles

and mizzen masts! I make them out of strong Spruce or

Fir wood. I glue long sections of wood together. Then I

plane and sand, and finish by varnishing them ready for

installing.Creativity .............................. 90Communication ..................... 39Collaboration ........................ 56Digital knowledge ................ 22Hands-on practical skills ... 98Reading and writing ............ 67Sustainability knowledge .. 78Using numbers ..................... 90
