Sheffield Forgemasters
(A Day in the Life of Freddy Furnace)
Six paintings commissioned by Sheffield Forgemasters International Limited tell the story of a fictitious apprentice steelworker, Freddy Furnace, on his first day of work. He is portrayed interacting with twenty fellow employees based on real people in the Company. Although the colleagues' names were changed to industry nicknames such as Ingrid Ingot and George La Forge, the real-life muses were able to recognise their cartoonised selves at the unveiling.
