Ian Daish

Ian has made a number of public commissions such as the main entrance gates for the Victorian Walled Garden at Saumarez Park for the Guernsey Botanical Trust and the “Welcome to the Old Quarter” arch for the entrance to Mill Street in St. Peter Port. In 2016, he started the Metalwork Sculpture Group for the University of the Third Age (u3a) in Guernsey, which encourages older people to discover how much fun you can have with with sculpting scrap-metal objects, such as old tools. Most of the group members are women who have never had any previous experience of metalwork. Projects involving use of the forge are the most popular!
