From Dinky cars to building cars, Jon Mills does Metal Work

This is a journey from early childhood and a love of cars to now creating some spectacular works of art, all out of metal. Jon Mills has been fabricating works in steel for over 40 years. His early years were spent producing sculpture and automata for speculative exhibitions and galleries, the last 15 years seeing more and more public commissions. With a preference for commissions which have a functional element, the work has included bridges, clock-towers and way-markers as well as many decorative gates & railings for civic buildings and schools.Very often the local community (normally a school group but not always) is involved in the process. If practical, schoolchildren have been bussed to his workshop and had hands-on experience of metalworking, including plasma-cutting, forging and (the favourite), quenching the hot work in a bucket of water.All work is carried out in his own workshop, in Brighton, East Sussex, although he will often draw specific designs to be sub-contracted out for laser cutting, which he will then manipulate and forge/ fabricate/weld together, prior to delivery to finishers for protective coatings etc. Take a look at some of Jons fascinating projects https://www.metaljon.com/Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/metaljon_mills/Do you enjoy listening to these podcasts?You might like to support their ongoing journey, by contributing £5 per month and be part of our community. Middle Earth Medicine has a platform for ongoing connections, support and wellbeing.
