About Me

I started making miniatures some 12 years ago and have come a long way since those humble beginnings. I now attend the finest shows in the UK and the United States, provide work for museums, and major publications; only a lack of actual time and a considerable work load, prevents me from attending anymore exhibitions. I make all manner of unusual and interesting miniatures and like a fool, I usually take on all those impossible projects that you can't persuade others to do!

I create and reproduce antique clocks in miniature, built in the same manner as the full sized clock, but to a scale of 1/12th and 1/24th. I use traditional materials, techniques, and finishes, including French Polishing; working mainly in fruit woods including Pear and Apple. A large percentage of my work is on a commission basis, making miniature copies of client's full sized treasures, although, I also attend very select exhibitions each year, where my work has to be judged, before acceptance.

In addition, I specialize in the restoration of fine clocks, and scientific instruments, including the restoration of the Movement, Dials (both painted and enameled) and Case Work including Wooden, Ormolu, and Boulle, for both trade and private clients on a very much selective basis. I also specialize in the restoration of smaller antiques from 16th and 17th century figural carvings, to late 19th century objets d'art of multimedia materials.

I have been in the Miniatures world since 1993 and, as previously mentioned, I now attend the finest shows, Birmingham NEC, London Dollhouse Festival and, have for the last 9 years attended the Independent Miniature show in Chicago . (All these shows are well worth a visit as some of the finest craft people attend.)

I also sell Antiques and have an international network of customers with many selected pieces being delivered worldwide each year. I specialize in good, period small furniture; where I get a lot of inspiration for my miniatures, handling fine, full size Georgian examples is a must, if you want it to show through in your miniature work.
