Down to Earth
Down to Earth specialise in contemporary metalwork that combines steel with stained glass, blown glass, stone and wood to make unusual and distinctive sculptures for both home and garden.
Eye catching and tactile, the pieces have integrity and individuality. The combination of colour, texture and form produce unique individual pieces and bold statements for the garden.
We are a husband and wife team Phil and Bridget Rogers and we have over twenty five years of expertise between us in designing and working with steel and horticulture. In 1997, we established Down to Earth, merging our skills. Today we design and handcraft unique, modern sculptures that are definitely different. All our work is handcrafted at our workshop in Bronington, a small village on the Shropshire/Clwyd border.

All sculptures are designed and made by Down to Earth.

All our work have traditionally handcrafted finishes. The sculpture are either natural rust platina or powder coated.
The natural rust finish combined with the vibrant colours of glass produce a brilliant contrast. The steel sculptutes are shot blasted to remove all mill scale, which renders it down to bare metal. This is sprayed with water periodically until a deep, even finish is attained.
On selected pieces, we then treat the sculptures with an oil based coating, which seals the rust and produces a 'suede' like look, which is suitable for both inside and outside situations. Other pieces are powder coated in a choice of colours giving a durable and hardwearing finish, and is used principally on the sculptures that are designed with the conservatory in mind.
