I recently returned from a trip from Stroudburge, PA, USA ,where I had the opportunity of work experience with
Andrew Molinaro and the team at Artisans of the Anvil. This trip was jam packed from start to finish; within two days of receiving a phone call from my old house mate Bob Thomas I was on a flight and on my way to the great U,S of A. where I spent the next four weeks living in a converted room about Andrew's workshop. Now this was my first experience of America and i gotta say it went above and beyond what I was expecting. The days were hot and I struggled to keep up with the guys on the forge at times, but such a welcoming response from everyone on the team. Some really cool work coming out of this place. Thanks for having me guys.

Andrew gave me free range on the design of this flower and after a couple of failed attempts I'm pretty chuffed with the outcome. |
