Rob is a self-taught sculptor, having started experimenting 15 years
ago when he was off work for an extended period having suffered a
slipped disc.
Rob mostly works in stone and wood, though he has
tried steel. He has also been making silver jewellery and wine goblets
for the past twenty-mumble years.
Rob works very slowly and intermittently, so he doesn't take commissions.
Occasionally,
when he visits the sea side, he'll pick up a pebble from the shore,
carve some rudimentary facial features on it with an electric engraving
tool, put his initials and the year on the underneath and then throw it
back in the sea. The idea is that the sea will toss it around enough to
soften the features before someone else finds it. Actually, the
chances are no-one ever will find it, of course.
