The lovely people at award winning arts charity ‘The Making’ have made me their ‘Maker Of The Month’ this week.

“Thomas Forsyth is an artist with an impressive ability to think outside the box. Many of his pieces are imaginative re-workings of traditional forms to which he gives new functions and meanings, some incorporating reclaimed or re-cycled elements. Recent pieces include a chess set with extra, moveable squares, wooden spinning tops that are spun with a pencil so creating artworks in the process, and a chest of drawers which is in fact a series of secret compartments and a coffee table. “

There is also a full interview that can be read on The Making’s website:
