About “Tin Smithing” from Alessi:
Tin Smithing was inspired by a beautiful taxi ride around Galway driven by a lovely, knowledgeable local named Frank Feeney. I was en route to my dear friends, Jamie and Ruth's wedding and was moved by the perfect weather, the union of their love and the city's rich history of beautiful craftsmanship. Tin smithing was one of the many traditional Irish crafts that I read about before the wedding.
Hats off to Jamie and Ruth Backhouse and to Mr. Frank Feeney!
The video for the song was the first collaboration with one of my closest friends, Chris Lucroft. Chris is an immensely gifted fellow who aside from his video work, also runs a brilliant record label here in London named Broken Sound.
We were snowed in that weekend, but were kept warm and busy by happy hours spent stopping and starting, cutting and tacking and laughing in equal measure. We hope you enjoy our first dip into the visual ocean!
Keep making things and take good care,
Alessi
