What Inspires Malcolm The Engraver
Malcolm Appleby takes inspiration from various sources. He has cited everything from personal experience through to mythology. Also the natural world is also central to his work.
After learning his gun engraving skills at school, he has used the associated techniques to produce jewellery and various other metal forms. Alongside engraving, techniques such as hammering and texturing are also used abundantly in his work.
Appleby uses gold, silver, platinum, steel, iron and gem stones in his work and continues to pass on his skills to others to this day.
Member Of The British Empire
In 2014 Malcolm Appleby recited his MBE for services for his engraving skills. One to never go with the masses and never afraid to tread new paths. He was that determined to do his own designs that he bought his own shotgun to engrave.
Once it was completed he quickly sold it abroad but the UK makers were still not interested. So he bought another shotgun and did it again. The rest is history and he has created over 60 shotgun masterpieces.
