Greenie is the lovely local blacksmith tutor.
At the art exhibition his amazingly intricate, miniature, steampunkeske, models of a plane and a lighthouse that actually glowed were my favourite exhibits.
The whimsical, fun, or utilitarian works he creates out of pieces of metal are a metaphor for what he strives to produce from the raw material of his students.
Although he loses a few along the way, he is always there in court to support any that find themselves on the wrong side of the law.
He gets them to exhibit at the art exhibition, or sends them over to us to get their picture taken with any unusual or interesting piece of work they've completed.
He is one of the unsung heroes of the community.
