“Hebburn Shipyard Workers” by Peter Mayne. South Shields Museum, England

Hebburn artist Peter Mayne served his time as a sheet metalworker, before retraining to be a welder at Hawthorn Leslies in about 1973/4. In about 1976/77 Peter decided he wanted to pursue a career in art, so he attended art college at Hartlepool, went on to do a degree in fine art at Sheffield, and has since worked as an artist and graphic designer.
