Simon Easton studied a BA (Hons) degree at Manchester Metropolitan University where he studied woodturning, silversmithing and pewterware. His pewter napkin ring set was one of the MMU winners of the Pewter Live 1999 competition, and was displayed at Pewterers' Hall in London. He has won both a Precious Metals Bursary and a Grant from the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths in order to produce design concepts that he had developed. The common theme in Simon's work was a decorative and textural feel, often rich in embellishment or pattern.
Simon Easton is a pyrographer, wood turner, silversmith, and pewter artist. His pewter napkin ring set was one of the Manchester Metropolitan University winners of the Pewter Live competition and was displayed at Pewterers' Hall in London. He is the recipient of a Precious Metals Bursary and a grant from the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths. In recent years his love of all things wood has led him to the art of pyrography, which he uses with a contemporary twist to create richly decorative items and gifts. He is an active member of the UK Crafts Forum, where he assists in passing on tips and advice to all craftspeople, and has his own website (www.woodtattoos.co.uk), as well as a site on etsy.com.
