Our Journey

Second Life Steel — Handcrafted Sculpture with a Story

Transforming recycled steel into timeless, sustainable art for homes, gardens, and meaningful spaces across the UK.

Discover Our Journey Through Steel

I have being making metalwork sculptures and undertaking various lighting projects for the past 15 years. It all started as a hobby to do something completely different from my stressful day job.

I created my first small sculptures from cutlery and reclaimed metal found at boot fairs or donated by friends. My early pieces included a fish, an owl, robots and other sculptures that gradually grew in size to the point where I was banned from bringing them in to the house!

It was a privilege to be commissioned to create the ‘Knife Eagle’ by the Kent Police Violence Reduction Unit. It gave me the opportunity to transform objects associated with harm into something positive and beautiful. I hope the sculpture is appreciated as a piece of art, but I also that hope it prompts reflection on the devastating impact that a single knife can have on a victim, their family and the wider community.

I now have more time to dedicate to my projects, and after several requests, I have developed this website.

I hope you enjoy my creations as much as I have enjoyed making them

What our clients say

Hear it straight from our customers!

“The Knife Eagle is a community focused sculpture created for the Kent & Medway VRU to spark conversation, reflection, and education around knife crime. It is physically built from knives that have been surrendered, transforming objects associated with harm into a symbol of hope, commitment, and change. The sculpture is accompanied by a book of commitments and promises, where members of the public can reflect on the knives surrendered and pledge to reduce harm, stand against violence, and keep their community safer.”
