silver smith and part time lecturer. He exhibits nationally and
internationally and his work is represented in several public and

Alistair has run many Mokume Gane workshops, in these he hopes to
give an insight into the technique that is inclusive and relevant

and how they can be manipulated alongside an understanding of
pattern form and function inspire Alistair's work.
