I am Nick Fraser and from my Somerset based workshop (just off jct 23 M5) I create sculptures from scrap, salvaged, recycled and sometimes new metal.

We live in a throw away world and that’s where I come in, those old tools, car parts, bits of old bicycle that most people take to the tip I repurpose and breathe new life into by creating sculptures of every shape and size. A lot of my materials come from people who have lost loved ones and have found themselves in the situation where they must clear out a workshop, garage or shed. The idea of taking those things that were important to that person and throwing them away is an uncomfortable one, so they bring them to me and I create something from them that makes them loved again as something totally different.

As well as creating sculptures for many clients/companies I have also been involved with tv productions featuring my work, Scrap Kings on Quest and Discovery+ has 3 episodes following the journey from scrap material to finished art work.

I also have a YouTube channel where I show the behind the scenes of how I create lots of my sculptures.
