Michael Bousfield

Steeped in tradition, mythology and folkloric tales, Michael makes functional and ornamental works influenced by nature, the occult, and cultural spirituality. His designs evolve through sketching, testing, and experimentation.

Michael’s background in fine art and calligraphy subtly informs his creative approach, adding depth to his work. He aims to preserve and extend the life of this craft, inspiring others to discover its beauty and potential.

He strives to craft tactile, thought-provoking art that explores the interplay of history, culture, and imagination. His pieces are made from copper, silver, and leather, skilfully and patiently crafted by hand-forming, raising, chasing and repousse, employing oxidation, patination, ink and renaissance wax.
