HI Im Sophie Harris a Metalsmith

with focus on my true love of restoration and coppersmithing i have been given this amazing opportunity !!

Oh my days!... soo here we go! With my amazing news!! Ive been given the amazing opportunity to rent a workshop on a short term basis. Its all happened very quickly but im due to move in on the 1st of October. YAY FINALLY!!!

Im finally feeling inspired after a 5 year low and struggle with being able to create. Due to multiple reasons

This time around I want to hit the ground running! However since all my tools, kit and equipment have been moved from county to county, spaces to storage a few fundamental tools and equipment have stopped working, have gone missing or I've lent out but cannot remember where they've gone and at the present im not able to start creating immediately. My angle grinder no longer works my gas bottles and regulators have gone walk abouts for my Welder, im gassless when its essential for my work. All my batteries have died. I simply do not have to funds to buy all of this at once and having to restore all my steel tools and stakes due to rust is going to take such a long time. But it has to be done as the list goes on.

So this is a small ask if anyone is able to help contribute to the cost of restarting and moving into a new space as a restoration Metalsmith in Cornwall in an endangered craft of coppersmithing it would be greatly appreciated.

Please help me to restart my dream and true passion of being a Restoration Metalsmith

Thank you so much

Lots of love ❤️

Sophie
