NOAH TAYLOR
BLACKSMITH AND SCULPTOR
“I find myself drawn to all sorts: antiques and architecture, metal, wood, glass and stone, old tools, lightning bolts, wheels, road-side shrines, religions, Gods, Goddesses and other imaginary friends and foes, furniture and sculpture, the Renaissance and Art Deco, paintings, planes, trains and automobiles, islands and deserts, museums and collections, myths and legends, sunshine and the images clouds make in otherwise clear blue skies…”
Noah was born in Switzerland, growing up mostly near Austin, Texas, USA and subsequently in England. Having started welding sculpture at 11 years old and leaving a somewhat unsuccessful schooling experience behind, it seemed natural to progress to a Foundation Art course and a Degree in Fine Art Sculpture. This was later augmented by a year’s training in Blacksmithing at Hereford. Various occupations have also included being a motorcycle courier in London, shop design and fitting in Wiesbaden, Germany and working near Harare in Zimbabwe to build a prototype mini-hydroelectric turbine.
