Vision, Passion & Imagination

I’ve always been interested in history, science fiction, art, construction and how things fit together and work, especially as a kid dismantling and redesigning things, looking at how things work and improving upon their design. Learning about various materials and how they can work together to build or make something amazing. My favourite time of day as a kid was when I was allowed to play with Lego or Plasticine. As I got older, this love never faded and I started making cardboard armour. One of the first was a Warhammer (game) Space Marine. Eventually I went to college to study art, design and technology, where I worked with various media to make things from paints, ceramic and even cloth materials. one of my favourite thing, was to learn how to bind home made books and how to do illustration work, which lead onto me writing children's novels. I still love creating things and having a 3D printer means I get to do this and make various things. So I hope you will follow me on this amazing journey as I create and build and learn new skills. including mistakes along the way. 

I would say my inspiration comes from various sources. I have a passion for all things History, we can learn so much from it, I teach 19th Century (Victorian Era) Living History and the tools they used back then and even in the 18th Century, are the same as we use today. I love all things Science Fiction, I fell in love with Sci Fi from a young age and that started with action films like James Bond and Indiana Jones, I loved how 'Q; from James Bond made so many cool gadgets. this led onto Sci Fi where I love Superhero film like Spiderman, Ironman and Batman etc, I find it so fascinating at the worlds which are created by films and programs like Star Wars and Star Trek. Including the many Characters and Civilisations they have created. I mean. who wouldn't want a real working Ironman suit or be able to climb up walls like Spiderman lol
