Custom work

Through my work at Arthur Beale I've been privileged to do ropework for designer shops on Oxford Street and all around the world, public spaces like parks and the Tower of London, and of course, all sorts of boats, old and new. Some of the more unusual pieces I've made have included giant shoelaces, parts for clocks, and trapezes, and I'm always looking to try something new and challenge myself.


Below is a list of services I offer as standard. If you're not sure what your project involves, please get in touch anyway at gem@tightropeknots.co.uk and I'll see if it's something I can do!
