biography
Robin Dobson
Artist/Designer - Mixed Media

Born 22 February  1967 -  Bedworth,  Warwickshire

The drive behind Robins work is the addictive quality of the ‘problem solving’ creative process.
Every project is unique; talking with other people, the  physical setting, viewing angle, local history and social context  all provide influences which inform the artwork. His inspiration comes from  creating artwork which suggests new ways this  locality can be viewed, used and enjoyed.

Education
1983-1986  Advanced City & Guilds - Silversmithing at Birmingham Polytechnic
1986-1989 BA(Hons) - Metalwork and Jewellery at Sheffield City Polytechnic

Self-employed since 1989
