Charlie joined our team in early 2021 and brings a wealth of teaching experience with him having taught visual arts in Australia, New Zealand, America and Germany before turning his hand to teaching sculpture and blacksmithing here at Tharwa Valley Forge.
He is a sculpture artist, with a Masters Degree in sculpture, who’s practice encompasses glass, stone and metal - though he still dables in other art forms. Working at Tharwa Valley Forge has given Charlie the opportunity to learn from the rest of the team and expand his creativity into knives and other blacksmithing projects with the goal to expand his teaching to these other areas.
Charlie adds a wealth of other skills and experiences to the team including renovation, hospitality and landscaping.
