In 1996, Steve formed ART WORKS - working as a sessional artist, travelling across the South West to offer a range of art and craft sessions to a very wide range of groups. |

He is developing his interest in puppetry - now offering shadow puppet shows as part of a workshop day in schools. Steve is a member of the Devon Puppeteers and is working on a rather 'dark' punch and judy show "A DARK CORNER" which he intends to take onto the ‘streets’. He is also learning about Animation and has an EOS DV Animation Controller which he will be using to create Animated films using his puppets. |
