Hi, I’m Mick, I run Steampunk Creative Engineering where I enjoy creating innovative, quirky and unique repurposed lighting and furnishings with a steampunk/industrial theme and a sprinkling of humour.

After over 40 years in industry, initially in a toolroom and subsequently as a multi-skilled maintenance engineer, in 2021 I decided to leave the shifts and the daily grind behind and live the artisan lifestyle. I haven’t looked back once.

I am fortunate to live next to open countryside in a cottage on the edge of Eyton upon the Weald Moors, a small village a couple of miles North of Wellington, Shropshire and just down the road from Ironbridge, where industry was born. I have a workshop at the bottom of the garden where I put imagination and the knowhow, tools and equipment I’ve built up over the years to work.

The steampunk theme of my venture comes from my passion for steam-age machinery; copper, brass and cast iron. It is my aim to preserve a little of our heritage by reinventing old items to make them fun, visually appealing and useful in the modern world.

Focusing on sustainability, I use interesting vintage or reclaimed parts wherever possible, often whisked from under the scrap-man’s nose. However, for safety reasons, I use new ‘live’ electrical components that are CE, UKCA and/or BSI approved in all lamps and individually safety test each one before it is offered for sale. I carry out all my operations in a responsible manner and all bulbs supplied with my creations will be low power consumption LED items; good for the planet and your pocket – they can be beautifully decorative too.
