Career
• Illustration — Wire Metal fairy by Robin Wight Trentham Gardens He has said that he received a camera in 2009, and while he was experimenting with the camera, he took a photo and he saw an apparition of a fairy in the photo. Then in 2010 he was repairing a wire fence and he became interested in the malleable wire. Soon after he created his first fairy with the same galvanized fence wire. Making fairies began as a hobby for Wight. In 2011 he started a business called FantasyWire. His career began when Amanda Dawson from Trentham Gardens discovered his work. Wight was then commissioned to produce more sculptures for Trentham Gardens. In 2014 a visitor shared a photo of one of the sculptures and Wight's Fantasywire Facebook page swelled to 440,000 followers.
