The Putter, by Shaun Bloodworth

The history of Ernest Wright reflects everything Sheffield Steel has become famous for. Highly skilled craftsmen making supreme quality products. A lot has changed since the heydays of manufacturing, but we’re proud to be here and able to pass on the heritage of an ancient craft.

Ernest Wright Limited is one of the last remaining hand manufacturer of traditional all-steel scissors in Sheffield, England. The film documents ' Putter ' Cliff Denton, literally a Putter-togetherer of scissors. This film is part of Storying Sheffield, part-funded by the Arts & Humanities Department under Professor Brendan Stone at The University of Sheffield. Music and Sound Design by The Black Dog. Other skilled handiwork provided by Mr Eric Stones.

Ernest Wright Ltd would like to thank Shaun Bloodworth and The Black Dog for this truly beautiful biopic of our Cliff's and Eric's amazing skillsets. The scissors are still made by Cliff and Eric and are for sale at www.ernestwright.co.uk
