The Glasgow welder

The bronze head sculpture depicts a young man in the 1930s, He is a welder in Scotts ship yard, as evidenced by the welding goggles. The man’s face is scarred, with a long, jagged cut. The scar is a reminder of a time when the man was late on a payment, and he was punished by being slashed with a razor.

The sculpture is made of bronze, and I have used a variety of techniques to create a sense of realism. The scar on his face is etched deeply into the bronze. I have also used a variety of textures to create a sense of depth and dimension.

The sculpture is a powerful image of a working-class man trying to feed his family. The scar on his face is a reminder of his past, but it does not define him. The man is determined and confident, and he is determined to succeed.

The sculpture is also a reflection of the city of Glasgow, which has a long history of industrialism and poverty. The man in the sculpture is a product of his environment, but he is also a survivor. He is a reminder that even in the most difficult circumstances, it is possible to achieve success.

The sculpture is titled “The Glasgow Welder,” and it is a tribute to the working-class people of Glasgow. It is a reminder that even in the face of adversity, it is possible to overcome and achieve success.

The welding goggles belonged to my Grandfather William Clydesdale who was a Foreman in the Greenock shipyard Scotts. My other grandfather Colin Campbell was the union delegate in the yard.
