Stan Jankowski
Welsh Dragon, Swell Bodied Copper Weathervane, For the WDA buildings in Machynlleth.

When I left school at the age of 15, I went to learn all about building the frames for racing motor cycles. Throughout my working life, I have worked with metals and I now work mainly in copper and brass, creating fountains, weathervanes, signs and other decorative items for the garden

One of the first commissions I received was to produce two weathervanes for the Welsh Development Agency for their new building in Machynlleth, one with Welsh letters, one with English letters. On the left is a picture of the architect, the builder and the client and yours truly with the Welsh weathervane.

Not surprisingly, since I worked in industry, my family and I have always lived in Birmingham until a few years ago when we made the break and came to live in mid-Wales. We now live in what must surely be one of the most beautiful places in the British Isles, if not the most beautiful place in the world! In case you're wondering, that's one mile from Lake Vyrnwy in Montgomeryshire.
