The Buckle Maker is Nick Lashmar, a craftsman forged in the fires of a traditional engineering apprenticeship, honed his artistry in the meticulous dance of metalwork, shaping raw materials with precision and soul. A lifelong devotee of the arts, Nick’s passion for painting infuses his creations with vibrant depth. Now, in his workshop nestled near the storied village of Cuckfield in Sussex, he transforms reclaimed scrap metal into belt buckles of unparalleled quality—each piece a testament to his alchemical blend of technical mastery and creative vision.
