When welder Ken Rowden wasnt doing his day job, hed devote his evenings to his hobby

When welder Ken Rowden wasnt doing his day job, hed devote his evenings to his hobby welding.
After trying his hand at sketching, painting and sculpture in an attempt to find ways of expressing his creative ideas, Ken decided welding gave him the best results.
Ken, who produced his creations in a hut next to his Easington home, said: I do my art welding for three hours every night. I find it exhilarating. Many of Kens artworks were exhibited at the Metal Art Precinct in South Shields.
In this picture from our archives dated March 9, 1979, 44-year-old Ken is working on a model train he hoped would be presented to the mayor of Noisy-le-Sec, a town in France twinned with South Shields

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable talent and dedication of welder Ken Rowden, who transformed his evenings into a haven for artistic expression. When not occupied with his day job, Ken devoted himself to welding, a hobby that allowed him to bring his creative ideas to life unlike any other medium he had explored before. Having experimented with sketching, painting, and sculpture in search of the perfect outlet for his imagination, Ken discovered that welding provided him with unparalleled results. With a humble hut situated next to his Easington home serving as his workshop, he would spend three exhilarating hours every night crafting intricate pieces of art through this unique technique. Ken's exceptional creations did not go unnoticed; many of them were proudly exhibited at the prestigious Metal Art Precinct in South Shields. The photograph itself dates back to March 9th, 1979, capturing the then 44-year-old artist engrossed in working on a model train. This particular piece held special significance for Ken as it was intended as a gift for the mayor of Noisy-le-Sec—a town in France twinned with South Shields—showcasing both his craftsmanship and international connections. Through this image from our archives comes an inspiring story of passion meeting skill and determination. It serves as a testament to how hobbies can transcend mere pastimes and become profound expressions of creativity that leave lasting impressions on both artists and their audiences alike.
