The Story
This is one of the classic books on craftsmanship and design. In it, David Pye explores the meaning of skill and its relationship to design and manufacture. Cutting through a century of fuzzy thinking, he proposes a new theory of making based on the concept of
good workmanship and shows how it imparts all-important diversity to
our visual environment.
Two Ravens Forge is a partnership between two artist blacksmiths - Steve Rook FWCB who comes from a traditional crafts background and who is a silver medal holder with the Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths and Elspeth Bennie who is a fine art graduate of the Glasgow School of Art and a practicing sculptor. The 30 years experience each of them brings to the business gives Two Ravens Forge the capabilities to produce well designed and highly crafted pieces with high attention to detail and the work showcased on the website shows both historic work done as individuals and more recent collaborative pieces.
