My name is Tom May
and I work in metal
I make everything from household items, to gates to garden sculptures & furniture
I also make dragons!
About Me
My love for metalwork started with a humble candle holder made at school. I moved to South Devon from London aged nine and, later, whilst exploring local career options, that early experiment working creatively with my hands came to mind.
I needed to find out what was possible, and to test my abilities, so I made contact with a village blacksmith. Initially, I worked for free in exchange for experience and a guiding hand.
Those first few days turned into weeks and then months, as my love of the craft and medium grew. After several years honing my skills, I was offered some free space in the workshop of a Kingsbridge metalworker, in return for helping out.
What I Do
I take commissions for all kinds of work; sculptures, gates and railings, garden furniture, etc. I can help design and I am happy to talk about all ideas and concepts.
I use traditional hot metal work and mix it with modern methods, such as laser and water-jet cutting. This gives me the ability to do much more detailed work.
