Overview

Simon Hawkes uses the critically endangered heritage craft of 'raising', an ancient metalsmithing technique in which a flat piece of copper sheet is hammered over a steel stake and gradually formed into a vessel. He then patinates the surface in a variety of beautiful coastal colours, before scraping the colour back to reveal the copper and to highlight the textures created by his hammer. Simon's work has been exhibited at The Royal Academy in London, The Royal West of England Academy, and The Royal Cambrian Academy.
