The artist behind One Artisan who has a passion for unique and functional concrete: “Concrete as you’ve never seen it!”. Creating pieces that can be used inside and outside the home, as well as commercial pieces for large scale architectural projects.

Having been born and brought up in the Cotswolds, Darren now designs and creates from his workshop in Stroud, Gloucestershire. During his early life, he struggled with severe dyslexia and has got past this disadvantage by working with his hands and creating the pieces that you can see today.

Some of his larger pieces can be seen in situ at Mermaid Quay in Cardiff, Wales and Silverburn Shopping Centre in Glasgow, Scotland. Smaller pieces, such as lamps, tables and water features, are also available for those who wish to have something unique in or around the home.

Endorsed by famous faces such as Toyah Willcox and featured on television programmes including Love Your Garden with Alan Titchmarsh, Darren’s work can become a conversation starter and enhance the ambience of any private indoor or outdoor space.

As the One Artisan brand grows, so does the artists aspiration to add more sculptural pieces to the collection that encourage people to think about concrete itself, the art and what it represents. The very ethos of One Artisan is to create “art with a function” and to show everyone “Concrete as they’ve never seen it!”.
