. From a very early age nick enjoyed playing with clay from his garden and soon realised he could make things with it. That was the start. During his school years Nick was encouraged by his art teacher Mr Douglas George to continue into further education with his art.. Nick attended Reigate school of art and design for five years where He did a 2 year foundation course and 3 years specializing in sculpture and 3d work. He obtained His higher surrey diploma in 1983. Nick and family lived in cornwall for three years where with their growing family he took on some farm work to help make ends meet. The family moved back to surrey in 1989 where he took on a job as school caretaker in their childrens school.. During that time he took clay modelling classes with all the year groups on the given subject at the time. Very rewarding. Over the years Nick has continued to create all types of art work using all sorts of materials for family and friends, but only decided to make sculpting a full time career in 2015. Nick has an interest in history specifically medieval history and folklore and a love of old churches and buildings which is often reflected in his work. One of Nicks absolute passions is the west country particularly South West Cornwall where he has a little piece of land which he likes to spend as much time as possible working on his Cornish beach slate carvings.
