Ian Davenport



Ian Davenport at work in Peckham, London, 2014.

"Ian Davenport has been in this hidden gem of a studio for 10 years. Buried in a back yard in Peckham, south-east London, it was once a pattern cutter's factory and was in a state of dereliction when he and his wife, artist Sue Arrowsmith, discovered it. "I could tell it had good light," he says.

They did most of the work themselves over a year; at one point most of one of the side walls fell down. Davenport asked a friend who was helping what to do, and he replied, "We rebuild it – have you mixed cement before? No? There's always a first time." (bron: The Independent)
