Paddy McCormack
“I use a layering technique rather than big thick pieces of metal so the effect is very delicate but the piece retains its strength. There are no hard lines and each design has a natural finish.”
Working with copper, iron and bronze, Paddy McCormack
creates a contemporary range of lamps, candlesticks, vases
and bowls. His free-flowing forms are handcrafted from
scratch in his Skibbereen studio.
He uses techniques both learnt and self-taught. Upon completion of his degree in the London College of Furniture where he had studied the making of musical instruments, he emigrated to New Zealand. “My roots are in wood but there wasn’t a great market for handmade musical instruments in New Zealand. I had a friend who did metalwork and I felt it was more my thing than wood.”
