Using photography to document how traditional crafts are adapting and surviving.
A photo book to raise money for The National Ankylosing Spondylitis Society
Following the success of my charity photo book '3 Balls £2.50' in 2013, I decided to publish a follow-up which is still on sale. The theme is traditional crafts and I have visited Malcolm Tysoe Ltd to see violins being restored, Easthope Stained Glass Studio, Alan Staley's Boat Restorers, Cleverley & Spencer Monumental Stonemasons and finally Michael Hart, Blacksmith.
The project continued and I hope at some point to be able to produce a second Artisans book. So far I have visited Siân Evans, a coppersmith, James Virgo at his bronze foundry, Mia Sabel a bespoke leather designer and the Sussex Trug Company.

Now that the book has been on sale for a while I'd like to quote some of the lovely comments I've received from buyers:
I was also blown away by some of the blog posts that have been written about it, particularly by Tom McLaughlan and Daniela Bowker.
