Demonstrating Craftsman
I’ve worked in the slate industry for 28 years, beginning my career at Penrhyn Quarry at the age of 16. Both my grandfathers were quarrymen at Dinorwig Quarry and I work here at the National Slate Museum, Llanberis exhibiting the art of splitting and dressing slate. I've created a lot of things out of slate, including a harp and a rugby ball. I enjoy meeting people, telling the story, and hearing the stories from the visitors of the museum about their connection to the slate industry. I learn a lot when I meet with the public. I’m also a drummer in the Deiniolen Band.
