"I had worked out the essential symbolism of the banner's design with the Metalworkers and we agreed to use a background of blue overall material for instance, and make images of hot and cold colours to correspond to hot and cold metalwork. The central image of smelting seemed an obvious choice function.
The challenge of meeting all these demands and attempting to express the ethos of so many trades was very satisfying. It is important to me that the Metalworkers in public - not many artworkers are able to do that."
