The Gizmo Guy
"An artisan or artizan (from French: artisan, Italian: artigiano) or craftsman is a skilled manual worker who makes items that may be functional or strictly decorative, including furniture, sculpture, clothing, jewellery, household items and tools or even machines such as the handmade devices of a watchmaker. Artisans practice a craft and may through experience and aptitude reach the expressive levels of an artist". Trevor has a BA in Fine Arts (Honours) and his experiential background includes Art Technician for a University Art department, Tool Maker and teacher, He develops internet tutorials on kite design and building. Through making kites Trevor has found a way to combine his art training with his practical skill to create finely crafted patchwork and appliqué kites using original art work or taking inspiration from images he finds interesting. Trevor’s kites have received awards at Bondi’s “Festival of the Winds” and Dieppe NB Canada. He is the 2011 kitebuilder.com "Kitebuilder of the Year" Contact: gizmoguy60@gmail.com
