Malcolm Appleby was born in Kent in 1946. He studied at Beckenham
School of Art, Ravensbourne School of Art and the Central School
of Arts and Crafts and with Sir John Cass from 1961 to 1966. Following
the pre-diploma he had an interest in gun engraving design and took
on a mock apprenticeship with John Wilkes in London where he learnt
the skills of intricate engraving on metal as a gun engraver.
He visited Scotland in 1964 and was inspired by its natural beauty. He studied at the RCA in 1966 to 1968 and moved to Scotland in 1970 where he remains to this day.
His work can be found at 10 Downing Street and many major museums, private
and corporate collections and is considered to be one of the finest craftsmen working today.
