We sincerely thank everyone here for helping make Shire Workshops such a special and happy place πβ¨. Let us introduce ourselves.
Joe is a sculptor, ceramicist, and owner of The Shire Workshops. Inspired from a young age by his fatherβs gargoyle sculptures, fantasy films, and nature documentaries, Joe began sculpting as a child and returned to it in adulthood with renewed passion. After a 15-year career in woodworking, he now works alongside his father, exploring and teaching a wide range of sculpture and pottery techniques, including kiln-free mediums. Joe is driven by the belief that creativity supports mental wellbeing and strives to make creative exploration accessible to all.
