Welcome to the steel-art site.

I have set up this site mainly as a show-case for my own work, but I have included work from a number of close friends.

We all live and work in South Shropshire near to the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow. In effect we are a loosely bound collective movement sharing skills, ideas encouragement and the odd beer or two.

This is me Tim Roper.

I am pictured here with some of my work in the new gallery.

The FORGERY
