For this Lucky dip Art series I’ve been inspired by these Moore and Wright internal spring joint caliper. I love the metallic silver of the worn high points contrasting against the flat iron black of the nooks and appearing blueish at times. This and the sooty grim of the Industrial Sheffield has been the latest exploration at the bench and resulted in this lucky dip Art series.
Crucible steel is a process of making high carbon steel. The process was common across India and Sri Lanka. In 1740s Benjamin Huntsman started to produce steel with the acces to good iron ore and coal as well as great transport links, Sheffield in England was a great spot. Huntsman’s development and the high quality manufactory of steel items like cutlery, put Sheffield on the map. Sheffield still produces high quality steel today.
